On-Campus Housing
On-campus graduate housing provides students the option to apply for both shared living and private apartments.
In order to access the graduate housing portal, students will need to create their BU email and login information.
To create your BU login, students must confirm their attendance by submitting their first deposit and their declaration of intent. A link to create your BU credentials will be emailed to you shortly thereafter.
Off-Campus Housing
Finding an apartment is one of the most common stressors for our incoming graduate students. That’s why we partnered with VeryApt, a real estate technology company, to build a personalized housing portal for our programs. For more information, visit the housing portal page.
Family Resources
Starting a graduate degree program means a lot of changes for you but also for your family. Check out BU’s family resources to help make the transition easier for your family. Consult the new student guide for even more information.

The MBTA does not offer a Semester Pass during the summer months. If students are using the MBTA frequently, the most cost-effective option would be to purchase an unlimited ride pass each month directly from the MBTA.
