Although perhaps not the flashiest higher-learning institution in the city, Boston University is among the most respected research universities in the nation. The campus enjoys a superb location on the banks of the Charles River, practically right next door to Fenway Park and the stellar dining and nightlife of the Back Bay area.
Hockey matches at Agganis Arena are wildly popular, with the Terriers consistently appearing in the NCAA semifinals. The surrounding area is a goldmine of restaurants, bars, nightclubs, entertainment venues, and scenic parks. MBTA service makes it easy to get around town, putting one of America’s most exciting and unique cities at your fingertips.
The most affordable apartments and condos convenient to campus are on the west side, in the Packard’s Corner area; pricier options closer to Fenway will give you terrific access to both the university and the excellent attractions around the ballpark.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
