地理位置
Boston is a vibrant city that's home to the largest population of college students in the country. The school is the city’s fourth-largest employer, and the BU administration makes a concerted effort to remain an integral part of Boston’s cultural landscape.
My favorite thing about BU has to be the surroundings. Sure, a couple miles of Comm Ave don’t make for the most picturesque campus—-no rolling greens, few ivy-covered buildings (except in brochures, where they are everywhere), and no quad to speak of, but you can’t beat the location. We’re in the heart of the madness of Fenway every spring and fall, across the river from the cultural scene of Cambridge, a quick walk from Newbury Street or a T ride from Faneuil Hall.
We are on the B line once it comes above ground, and if you really feel like it, you can ride it all the way to Boston College for a football game or a weekend party. We border on Brighton, Alston, and Brookline, each with its own unique flavor and attractions to offer. Basically, BU has all the benefits of living right in the city while still being far enough away to see the sun, not to mention breathe a little easier. And the recently undertaken Comm Ave Improvement Project has already begun to show benefits, making our main drag even better looking. All in all, we’ve got the ideal spot here for access to the best of what Boston and its suburbs have to offer.

校园
The Charles River Campus (the main campus) tracks down the Green Line along Commonwealth Avenue for a mile and a half. The main campus contains the majority of student housing and academic buildings. Due to the constant expansion, there are a diverse range of architectural influences and styles on the main campus. The School of Theology and the College of Arts and Science were built in the 1930s and have a Gothic feel, while most administrative and smaller academic buildings are classic brownstones. Some of the larger dorms are more aesthetically severe and have a more modern feel.
The Boston University Bridge over the Charles River connects the main campus with West Campus.
The campus has made recent progress in its quest to become more centralized and less spread out. The John Hancock Student Village opened in the 1990s, introducing new fitness facilities, dorms, and a large arena for arts and other events on campus. Many new buildings and improvements are scheduled to begin in the coming years.

宿舍条件
Boston University's housing system is the one of the largest in the country. The university guarantees on-campus housing for four years for all undergraduate students who opt in, and 76% of the undergraduate population lives on campus. All students living in dormitories must sign up for a year-long meal plan, which offers a combination of meals and dining points that can be used as cash in certain on-campus facilities.
Dorms at BU are scattered all around campus. There are so many options for on-campus housing, and living in a dorm is only one of them. The major dormitories on campus are Warren Towers, Towers, West Campus (comprised of three large towers), Myles Standish Hall, and Shelton Hall. Dorm rooms are very small and old. They are usually doubles, however, a few singles or even triples are possible.
Other on-campus housing, aside from the dorms, are brownstones, apartment-style living, the Student Village, or specialized housing for certain majors and religions. These are all great options, especially when compared to the dorms. The Student Village is a brand-new high-rise building and is a great choice for people who want the luxury of apartment-style living while remaining on campus in a new and clean building. Living in brownstones is a popular option as well. They are very 'Boston' and usually have large windows, high ceilings, and an antique look.

体育培养
The BU Terriers compete in Division I men’s basketball, golf, ice hockey, track, crew, soccer, swimming, tennis, and wrestling. The women’s varsity teams compete in the same division in basketball, cross country, lacrosse, field hockey, ice hockey, crew, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, and track.
BU also has a roster of 27 club sports available. A special shout-out goes to the BU table-tennis club team, which has ranked consistently in the top-ten nationwide.
The new Agganis Arena is a spectacular sports facility that opened just three years ago. Lastly, the Boston Terrier mascot is named “Rhett.”
