BU campus life

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston University

I was wondering if anyone could answer any of these questions and Boston University and the social life.

  1. Do sports play a big role on campus?
  2. Where do students hang out on/off campus?
  3. What's the party scene like? Where do students party?
  4. Are students friendly, cliquey?
  5. Do different races/classes interact?

Hey again!

  1. Sports aren’t as big here as they would be for a state school with a huge football team, for example. Hockey is our main sport though and the games are really fun to go to. So we’re not a HUGE sports school but the culture here does exist.
  2. You can find people everywhere here since it’s so scattered. The BU Beach and the GSU are where a lot of people spend time, but there’s not really a central place to find everyone. Off campus really depends, a lot of people go to Newbury Street or to the Commons when they get off BU campus
  3. Party scene is definitely what you make of it. I know people who party every weekend and people who have never gone out to one. Frat houses are the biggest spots and they’re up past West Campus in Allston. Totally just depends if you want to get out there and go to a few, nobody will judge you either way
  4. Students are pretty friendly overall, I’ve had no problem meeting some great people
  5. Yeah they do, although there is disparity between international kids and every else. Most of the international students stick with each other, but other than that it’s pretty evenly mixed
