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.

Very Strict

The police force is SO strict. There is security to get inside of every dorm. You always have to swipe in, and you always have to sign in a guest. The BU Police is located right next to West Campus, which holds the most partiers, so that's quite annoying. Drinking in dorms is not big because you will get caught, and it's pretty serious if you do.

Campus Strictness

I am thirty-three years old and live outside of Boston. I have lived right outside of Boston my whole life. I know the night-life, but do not live on campus...so I do not know about the campus strictness.

Dining Halls Are Solid

There's a pretty decent variety, and the dining halls are fairly accommodating. As with all dining food everywhere, people can get pretty tired of it. The dining plans are pretty expensive and excessive, but people tend to steal food and dishware, so it evens out.
