Social Life at BAU

BAU is located right at the political and cultural center of the nation’s capital, just two blocks from the White House. Centrally located, BAU students are able to travel to and have access to all of the wonderful attraction the city and area have to offer. The Director of Student Services organizes and announces events, field trips, and excursions for students. Students keep up with all of the activities offered on BAU’s website and student bulletin boards on campus.

We understand students have different needs and interests, so we have various activities, events, and clubs available, including sporting, theater, and concert events, museum visits, book club, cooking club, volunteer work, social hours, holiday parties/potlucks, and many more!

Student Organizations

Student Organizations make up a vibrant part of BAU’s intercultural campus life. Our students have the opportunity to organize and participate in student-run organizations and clubs that reflect the diversity of their interests. Current organizations and clubs include the Student Government Association (SGA), film and book, music, soccer, podcast, and others. Through these organizations and clubs, students can advance their personal and professional goals and socialize with others in the university community. Institutional funds for organizations and clubs are distributed through the SGA. Clubs gather at the Student Union on the 3rd floor.

Students who wish to reserve the Student Union for a specific day and time must do so through OIS (Operational Information System) using their username and passwords.

Field Trips

Not only does being in the heart of DC come with it’s own network of Government Agencies, Landmarks, Parks, Museums, and much more; but DC is also just a bus or train ride from many surrounding states including Maryland, Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, and others.
