Visits, Tours & Events
To learn more about what life is like at BU Law, we invite you to visit the school. Please review the below opportunities to interact with the BU Law community, both virtually and in person.
We have compiled a variety of resources that will help you get a sense of our facilities, the campus, and the City of Boston. Take a virtual tour of the law complex, view resources about living in Boston as a law student, explore the neighborhoods that our students call home, and see the law school’s central location on BU’s campus.
Beginning Friday, April 26 through Friday, May 10, the Law Complex will be swipe-access only. If you are visiting our office during business hours, please call us at 617-353-3100 and we can let you in.
Guided Tours
During the academic year, and on occasional dates in the summer, we offer guided tours of the law school led by current JD students. On Fridays during the spring semester we offer a guided tour for admitted students only.
Student Guided Tours will end for the semester on April 19th. We will offer guided tours again beginning mid-May.
You can sign up for a spring semester guided tour here.
When we do not have a scheduled tour, we encourage you to visit the JD Admissions Office during regular business hours to pick up a self-guided tour packet.
If you have any questions, please contact us at bulawadm@bu.edu.
