Springtime at BU is the time when everyone eagerly anticipates the gradual rise in temperature and the blossoming nature!


It is the final homestretch before summer break and for graduating seniors!

How to Dress

  • In the early days of March, expect to hang onto those winter coats and boots, as it can still snow!
  • By April, the weather can still fluctuate, dropping into rather cold spurts, but can also see short periods of sunny days and good weather.
  • Once we slide into May, you can probably store that big winter coat away, and just have a nice warm hoodie or raincoat for the days when the temperatures drop a bit, but for the most part summer weather will be fast approaching!

Spring Activities on Campus

While the weather may still be a bit dreary, BU's campus is always bustling no matter the time of year! There are so many fun events held by the student government, independent clubs/organizations, and school itself! Click below to see BU's full calendar for Spring 2024.

Spring Break

Halfway through the semester, students are itching for a well deserved break, and Spring break cannot come fast enough!
From vacations far away from Boston, school organized trips and activities, or staying on campus and just relaxing, there's so much to look forward to!
Boston University's Spring Break 2024 is set to be Saturday, March 9 until Sunday, March 17! Start planning early!

  • Jet away to a dream destination and escape the cold air and snow by relaxing on a beach down South!
  • If you want to have an Alternative Spring Break experience, click here to check opportunities Boston University sponsors for students to volunteer in a number of areas such as animal rights, environmental conservation, and more!
  • Travelling isn't always the best option for everyone, and if that's the case for you, not to worry! There's so many things to do around Boston, and since classes won't be held for a week, you'll have all the time you need to hang out and check out more the city or surrounding areas.
