starting in september 2007, a new guest policy relaxed most of the rules that have frustrated boston university students. the new policy allows for overnight guests to be signed in until 2 a.m. of the first night of the stay with consent of a student's roommate. previously the guest policy did not permit overnight guest approval to occur less than 24 hours prior to the beginning of the stay. in addition, there is now a difference in the guest policy for those students living in the mostly freshman/sophomore dorms versus those living in the student village (10 buick street and 33 agganis way), an exclusively upperclassman apartment complex. residents of the student village will be allowed to have guests at any time of the day without any approval process, as long as the guest is accompanied by a student village resident. the new policy is likely to increase the percentage of students who want to live on campus, which is already a substantial majority of the undergraduate population.
