Welcome to BU!

The 2025-26 academic year has officially begun! Orientation was on September 2nd, and classes for most departments began on September 3rd. Since then, the campus has been buzzing with energy. There have been Orientation Week (more like Orientation Month) events nearly every day. There seems to be a lot of excitement in the air this year - or maybe it’s just the early fall weather!

As we all try to get back into the rhythm of classes and schoolwork, remember to take care of yourself. It can feel really difficult to maintain a balance between homework, a social life, and self-care - don’t forget to drink water, eat healthy meals, move your body, and make time for activities and people you care about. You got this! If you’re struggling to find a balance, BU has all kinds of wonderful supports in place to help you manage - see the Student Services webpage for more info.

And on behalf of The Quill, thank you, seriously, for picking up a copy of our newspaper. We put a lot of care and effort into making it, and we really hope you find something in its pages that interests you. Stay tuned for new issues every two weeks, and if you’d like to get involved (and get paid!) contact eic.thequill@gmail.com.

Whether you’re in your first year or your fifth, we wish you a very warm welcome back to campus!
