Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Playing it smart seems to be the best bet. Stick to your limits, stay far from University buildings when you expect to party, and if things tend to get out of control, make sure you are not in the dorms. Getting caught with drugs (or alcohol, if you are underage) may result in academic probation or removal from housing on campus. What you get away with depends largely on your housing assignment. Rules vary in strictness from dorm to dorm, and RA to RA.

Even if your RA is extremely lenient with all of the students living on the floor, do not expect to be let off completely. Be extra careful early on in the academic year because BU tends to “send a message” to students before things even get rolling.

Campus Strictness

The security on campus at times is strict...especially when it hits thursday night but that is to be expected with most colleges. The guest policy is very strict and I do not recommend that students try signing in guests drunk. The guest policy is confusing as to how many overnight guest passes or 3-day guess passes one can have. The RAs on campus seem to be relaxed for the most part...as long as you do not give them strong reason to not to. West Campus tends to have a more relaxed atmosphere then the rest of the campus.

Don't Get Caught Drinking

BU is pretty serious about underage drinking. If caught in the dorms, you can get fined, and a second time will get you kicked out of housing. If you can't swipe into the dorm, a $1000 ambulance ride is in your future...

Somewhat Strict

The on campus bar has been cooperating with the campus police in identifying fake I.D's...they are confiscating them, but not reporting you to B.U. Some RA's are strict, some are not. You just have to feel them out to see what you can get away with, and you always get a warning first! If the police bust a party, they just ask everyone to leave and don't take names!!
