It’s that wonderful time of the year when you spread your wings and fly out from your hometown to a big university that you will now call home. You’re on your way to becoming a Terrier! Follow these few tips and moving to Boston University will be a breeze.
Moving in Like a Pro
First-year students (and their parents/family members) tend to get a little frazzled on move-in day. As long as you’re prepared with a game plan, moving truck and helpers, then you won’t break too much of a sweat. Or if you want to make your life even easier you can ship your stuff to the dorms ahead of time with Collegeboxes. The nearest U-Haul location to campus is just a few minutes away. Make sure you check out Boston University’s moving tips as well for an easy checking-in system. Now that’s how you move to campus!
Housing on Campus
BU has a variety of co-ed residence halls for students to choose from including “dormitory-style, apartment-style, large residences, and small brownstones”. After freshmen have completed the Housing Interests Survey, the Assignments Area will proceed to match the students to the most ideal hall. In other words, don’t be afraid that you won’t be able to make friends because BU is already looking out for you by matching you with roommates who share similar interests!

Location
Regardless of the time of the year, Boston always has something going on! You and your new roomies will find a plethora of historical sites to visit through the aged city of Boston, from the Freedom Trail to the Paul Revere House. If you are more of the sporty type you can catch a game at Fenway Park or watch the Celtics play in the TD Garden.
Once you’re on the move, have a little fun and snap some photos on the way! Submit them here or via Instagram using #uhaulfamous to become U-Haul Famous!
