Is campus housing guaranteed to entering freshman students?
All admitted freshman applicants are guaranteed at least three years of on-campus housing, and half are guaranteed four years of on-campus housing. Boston College is unique in that our students choose to live off campus in their Junior year and return to campus in their Senior year. In fact, nearly 99% of Juniors living off-campus last year returned to campus for their final year. Boston College’s Office of Residential Life works with sophomore students to assist them in locating off-campus apartments for the upcoming year. The University informs students about every aspect of living off campus and hosts apartment fairs where students not only learn about various apartment locations, styles, and rent prices, but also meet with real estate agents and landlords. Students generally live within a one-mile radius of campus. A Boston College bus shuttle services these areas throughout the academic year.
