Hi everyone, I'm just curious if BU (Boston University) is considered a D1 school for sports? I've heard conflicting information, so I wanted to ask here.
Yes, Boston University is a NCAA Division I school for sports. They compete in the Patriot League for most sports, but some sports like men's and women's ice hockey are in different conferences, such as the Hockey East. Being a D1 school means that the athletic programs at BU have the opportunity to compete at the highest collegiate level, often offering scholarships to talented athletes. Keep in mind that each sport may have varying levels of success and competition within the Division I framework.
