Our residents thrive at BSU because they can access the support and services they need to focus on their studies and make positive contributions to our campus community.
We’ve created a number of programs, policies and guides to help students transition from high school to college to the real world. Check out our Move-in Guide to plan your arrival to campus, brush up on our student policies and procedures, learn where to store your bike or practice the clarinet and find the forms you need to apply for housing and meal plans.
