Life on Campus

BU Housing

  •  BU housing provides students with an authentic, on-campus housing experience. All students have access to a Resident Assistant who can help answer questions and assist with any issues you may have. You can view a list of housing amenities and housing security information here.
  • BU on-campus housing is required for the program. To register, please submit your online BU Housing Portal by following the instructions sent to you by the CELOP Admissions staff. Once you submit your Housing Portal, the BU Housing office will make your housing assignment. Students are assigned a room based on availability. Most rooms are multiple occupancy (with one or more roommates), but some students may be assigned a single room (at a higher cost). For students living with a roommate, BU Housing makes every effort to assign a non-Waseda roommate. Your roommate can be a BU domestic or international student from any country.
  • BU Housing does not provide bedding, towels, or pillows. You can bring these items to campus, purchase a linen package from CELOP that includes them, or buy them on your own. If you want to buy these items on your own, there are many stores near or on the BU campus where you can purchase them.
  • Vacation Housing: You are permitted to remain in their BU housing for Thanksgiving Recess, and Spring Break. BU dorms close, however, for winter intersession. You have the option to apply for vacation housing if they wish to stay on campus during intersession.

      BU Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)
