Boston University
About
Boston University is a leading private research university with two primary campuses in Boston, the Charles River Campus and the Medical Campus, along with programs around the world. Founded in 1839, it offers undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees across its schools and colleges. The university runs its own police department, which provides full-time, professional law enforcement and a wide variety of public services to the campus community.
Research reaches into fields such as engineering, where BU engineers are studying how tiny water droplets can ground billion-dollar supersonic vehicles. Campus life connects with the surrounding city: the Terrier Card gives students ways to save at local businesses, and the university has offered free, anonymous mental health screenings and a resource fair for World Mental Health Day. Separate offices handle financial aid, the registrar, human resources and alumni relations.
