AIM: Housing & Dining

The 2024 session of AIM was a great success. Please check back on December 15 for details about next summer’s program and to submit an application. Sign up for an email reminder.

Residential students

You and your fellow high school students will live together as a community in BU residence hall. There are typically two students per room, although some students may also be in singles or triples. Room rates will vary based upon the room type. Young men and women live in separate towers. Please contact us if you’d like to discuss housing arrangements, as our office is committed to creating a safe and welcoming community for all of our students. 

Residence halls have 24 hour security and full time residential staff. Carefully selected program assistants (PAs) also live in the residences and provide students with guidance as they adapt to college life. The PAs coordinate social outings and ensure that students return to the residence before curfew each night.

Our residence halls are not air-conditioned and dorm rooms can get hot, so we strongly recommend that you bring a fan or buy one when you arrive on campus.

You will eat your meals in one of our dining halls on campus. The menu choices include restaurant-style meals, vegetarian and vegan options, freshly made desserts, and so much more. If you have special dietary requirements, please contact us so we can make arrangements to best accommodate you. The dining staff can also assist you if you have food allergies or other dietary restrictions.

Commuter students

AIM is open to commuters and residential students. Lunch will be provided for commuter students by one of our dining halls on campus. Commuter students will also attend some evening activities. You may purchase dinner in the dining hall.

All commuter students are required to fill out a supplemental Commuter Permission Form and Dining Plan Agreement upon acceptance into one of our programs. These forms can be found in the online enrollment portal.
