Living at BU

Student Life

Boston University Summer Term High School Programs offer a true pre-college experience. Along with rigorous academics, our high school programs provide a well-planned and exciting social experience at Boston University. We want you to spend your time with us figuring out what it means to be a college student. We want you to learn how to manage your time by balancing your academic work with fun events and free time.

In order to build a strong student community, we have planned a variety of mandatory activities. These include group outings in Boston and engaging social events around the BU campus. Activities are an important part of each high school program, and all students are required to attend. We promise, it is fun!

Our staff is available every step of the way as you immerse yourself in your classes, campus, and in the city of Boston to make sure you are fulfilling your potential and getting everything out of your summer experience—academically, socially, and personally.
