Your health here goes well beyond flu shots and a health form. Yes, we’re set up with accessible medical care, a clinical staff and counseling services. But we’re also proactive. And that begins with Healthy Husky — our health and wellness initiative that not only can help you stay or get into shape but will introduce you to many new healthy hacks for managing stress, the importance of naps and healthy eating on the go.
BU's Student Health Center provides caring, professional, convenient support for students. The SHC is staffed by registered nurses, nurse practitioners and a part-time physician who treat students by appointment. Unlimited visits at no additional charge upon payment of health and wellness fee each semester.
There are many reasons students reach out to obtain counseling services, some of which may include: anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, adjustment difficulties, family struggles, unhealthy eating, and exposure to trauma events. Our services are based on a short-term model of treatment, in which sessions are provided on bi-weekly basis. If you are seeking a longer-term treatment approach, or weekly session, the Student Counseling Center can assist in finding appropriate resources.

The Writing and Literacy Engagement Studio (WALES), supports students’ growth as writers and readers. We enjoy easing the writing process for all students from any background working in any major. We also enjoy helping students develop strategies for reading and making sense of research and course material. Students set the agenda for each appointment—whether they’re concerned about their reading material, about getting started on a writing project, about improving clarity, grammar, organization, or citations, or about any other aspect of reading, writing, or the English language. Our diverse group of WALES Consultants represent a variety of majors and share the common goal of working with students to develop skills and strategies that help them grow as readers and writers. Email us at wales@bloomu.edu to set up an appointment.
