BU Housing & Dining provide students and parents a collection of services enabling them to interact with systems regarding their housing and meal plan preferences, Convenience Points purchases, Terrier meal share, and other related matters. 

Benefits

The Student Housing Portal and GET Mobile App offer students and parents a streamlined, user-friendly experience for managing on-campus living and dining. With the Housing Portal, students can easily apply for housing, choose roommates, select and adjust meal plans, request room changes, and report maintenance issues—all from one centralized platform.  

Complementing this, the GET Mobile App provides a convenient way to manage convenience points, track transactions, and even donate unused meal swipes to support fellow students. Together, these tools make campus life more accessible, flexible, and community-minded.
