BU’s Faculty-in-Residence (FIR) program offers a unique experience to professors and students alike.

It is not often that students get to live alongside their professors, one might in fact, call it a rarity. But at BU, this is a reality made possible through the Faculty-in-Residence program that was established in 1974 under then President John Silber (Hon.’95). This program not only offers students the chance to get to know their Professors on a personal basis and vice versa, but also provides students with in-house role models and mentors to help guide them through their time away from home.

Each FIR member hosts at least three open hours in their apartment each week for the students living in their residential community and are also expected to facilitate a minimum of one educational and interdisciplinary program for their students each semester.
