  • Accommodation: I used online platforms such as facebook and real estate agents
  • Monthly rent: $1050 with hot water and heat, $ 200 for electricity
  • I didn't find any challenges while finding or securing my accommodation
  • Recommendations for future students seeking accommodation: start searching at least 5-6 months in advance and ask for real-time videos and face-to-face video calls to check the place and facilities
  • Mine was 15 minutes by walk and 5 minutes via train. The students stay 15-20 mins by train max as the campus is accessible via train and bus very easily

Campus Life

Boston University offers a vibrant campus life with students from diverse nationalities, providing a global experience. The campus experience and infrastructure are top-notch, featuring well-equipped libraries and modern sports facilities. BU has an immunization drive for all of its freshers providing the best healthcare to its students and faculty. I almost every time spot Indians on campus and even all across Commonwealth Avenue. The community is very welcoming, with a substantial number of Indian students making it easier to connect with fellow countrymen. BU boasts numerous clubs and societies that cater to a wide range of interests. The university also hosts major fests like 'Splash', which showcases student organizations, and 'Global Music', adding colors to life. Apart from that I have also joined Technical clubs like Cyber Security Club, Artificial Intelligence Club and more.

I opted for Off-Campus accommodation as I felt that the on-campus accommodation was quite expensive. One can shortlist the best suitable accommodation from 3rd party providers like Amberstudent. In my case, the university already has compiled information on the type of stay and budget on their website. It was very much easy to find one and confirm my stay. I live just 15 min away from my college and the commute is very comfortable. It's good to search for accommodation as soon as possible because as academic month approaches the prices are high during the peak time. Indian groceries are pretty expensive but you can find plenty of grocery shops a lot on the streets. Our monthly grocery expenses are somewhere around $100. Utensils are quite expensive so it's better to buy from India and bring it here in the USA.

Accommodation abroad is really expensive which I didn’t not expect. The city Boston is really underrated when it comes to this. 2 bedroom apartment would cost around 2600$/month.

The campus is lovely, infra is amazing. Too much to do on campus in terms of both indoor and outdoor activities. There is free merch and food all around all the time for students. Very very happening and engaging.

Graduate housing was like $2,000+ per month in rent for an average personal living space. Not worth it at all. It is better to rent an apartment by yourself, for a private room within a 15-20 mins radius of campus, you can find it for $800 easily.

The facilities are very good, the gym is excellent. There are opportunities to take fitness or recreational classes for free. I took piano for two semesters at the music school. The economics department is pretty old and the building is too small now, which is the only downside. There is not enough office space for PhD students. The classes are usually held in other buildings so it is not that much of a problem.

I rented a house off campus- A 3b2bath. Rent is 1200 a month. The average cost around campus is about the same. Utilities run about 100 dollars extra on average.

Campus life is overall great, there’s a lot of events and things happening around if you are interested to get involved. There’s great facilities as well and it’s all well maintained. And the gym too is probably one of the most highly regarded in the area.

Campus life is pretty fun. We have regular events for networking which helps a lot. There are not much events for sports as every grad student is busy with studies. Library is good too.

There is a very limited amount of on campus housing which costs from $775 to $975 including all utilities including electricity. This is actually a bargain for a private room in Boston. Students can easily get accommodations near the University for around $850 without utilities and $450 if sharing a room.

Living near university or in the city can be expensive so choose your home carefully.

It has the best program for project management in the country.

There are several options in terms of the dorm and on-campus housing that vary by status. Off-campus housing is also an option after the first year of graduation. Although the cost of living in Boston is high because it is a metro city.

High ranking for selected fields, scholarship, and ideal location (diverse and urban environment).
