Graduate Student Lounges
For times when you need a place to relax or socialize with fellow students, there are several facilities on campus that are available to you. The Graduate Management Student Lounge, in Fulton 124, is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week (except during periods when the building is closed). The lounge offers a comfortable place to relax, catch up on reading or have a bite to eat. There is a kitchenette area that includes a refrigerator and microwave, as well as a flat screen TV. An access code is needed to enter the lounge (13-2-4). The Murray House also provides a mix of casual lounging areas and meeting/study space.
Meeting/Study Rooms
Graduate Management students may reserve a number of rooms in Fulton Hall for group meetings. These rooms are available on a first come, first served basis and can be reserved using our on-line scheduler, which can be found in your Agora portal under "Other Services" as "CSOM Room Scheduler".

Listservs
The Graduate Programs Office has set up program listservs to keep students apprised of key information pertinent to their individual programs. All students will be subscribed, using their BC email address, to the appropriate listserv at the start of their first semester. Listservs are used to communicate academic announcements, career resource information, speakers and events, volunteer opportunities, as well as GSOM student social activities. To ensure your subscription to the listserv, it is your responsibility to verify that your email address is not suppressed in the Privacy Preferences section of your Agora account. Our ability to communicate quickly and accurately with students is greatly enhanced with the listservs. Please ensure that you release your email address in your privacy preferences as soon as possible. If you find that you are not receiving emails, please contact The Graduate Programs Office to ensure your information is accurate.
Detailed information on changing your information privacy can be viewed here.
