The Global House Living-Learning Community welcomes students who are passionate about languages and cultures. Through this co-curricular experience, Global House residents explore together what it means to be globally diverse and build on the University’s effort “to continue to foster the engagement of Boston University in the city and the world.” In the true spirit of a Living-Learning community, learning will extend to all aspects of the Global House experience. Students collaboratively develop cultural programming while developing intercultural literacy and building community. Students engage in weekly meetings with their Language Cluster, participate in the Global House Discussion series, attend cultural and community activities, and more.
We welcome applications from rising sophomores, juniors and seniors who are proficient in one of the following languages at the second-semester level (112) or above. We currently offer Language Clusters for African Languages*, Modern Standard Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
*The specific African Languages offered varies by semester. Please see www.bu.edu/globalhouse for more information.
