For 2026/27, the resident undergraduate estimate includes USD 20,740 for housing and food; the university assigns housing policies and charges by student category and accommodation plan. Availability is not a guarantee, so applicants should review the current housing process early.

BU’s residential estimate includes dining, and the university operates campus dining across the Charles River Campus. Students with allergies, religious requirements or other dietary needs should review current dining information and contact BU before arrival; personal food costs can differ from the published estimate.

Boston University’s Charles River Campus follows Commonwealth Avenue and combines academic buildings, libraries, laboratories, residence halls, dining, athletics and student services in an urban setting. The university also operates a Medical Campus and other professional locations in Boston.

BU provides campus safety, emergency, health and student-support services across its Boston locations.
