Urban Campus:

  • Boston University is in the heart of Boston allowing students to quickly integrate themselves into the city filled with opportunity and adventure.
  • We’re an urban campus and we love it, yet we’re not all buildings and cement blocks. The Charles River flows next to campus and there are plenty of green spaces for finding peace and quiet
  • While BU is an urban campus, we’re not all buildings and cement blocks. The Charles River flows next to campus and there are plenty of green spaces for finding peace and quiet from the BU Beach to a vegetable garden on the roof of Warren Towers.
  • Our newest building, the Center for Computing & Data Sciences, is a 100% fossil fuel-free building and is one of the greenest buildings in New England. It is a great example of how BU can balance space in an urban environment.

BU has the most central campus in the city of many campuses, and we are the most closely connected to the city. There's an energy to our campus and the hustle and bustle that students love.

Being in the heart of Boston allows me to explore just the multitude of resources that exist. Whether that be through sitting in the Boston Commons, using the public library to study, or just going to the museums and exploring with my friends. Being in the heart of the city allows me to connect with the communities that are in Boston itself, but also at BU in a whole.

Bye guys!

We're an urban campus and we love it. Our Center for Computing and Data Sciences is a great example of how BU uses space in an urban environment.

Here at Commonwealth Avenue, we have a couple of different transit options. From the T which is the platform we stand on to the BU Bus, the shuttle and the Blue Bikes. This makes it really easy to get around campus and interact with the greater city of Boston, through job opportunities, internships, and just general exploratory activities.

Along with unique buildings comes beautiful views of BU. Be sure to check out some of BU's awesome views at the College of Arts and Sciences observatory, and the fourth floor garden at Warren Towers.

We have a ton of green spaces and even a river running up and down it.

BU Beach is a have beautiful versatile green space on campus. On beautiful day, students love to play spike ball or put on a game of soccer do some extra homework or even just chat and have a picnic. Our urban campus does not mean a sea of concrete buildings.

And that does it guys. Thank you so much for joining me on a tour of our beautiful campus.
