Student Housing
This item appears automatically on the application in the post-decision phase after the student’s status is moved from “pending” to “accepted”. At that point the students have their BU login information. The BU office sends a separate notice to the BU Residence Life office. BU reserve rooms in university apartments for incoming exchange students, but the actual room assignments are not made until quite late, about six weeks before the beginning of the semester. Residence Life sends notification to all students at that time.
