The Boston University Debate Society competes as part of the American Parliamentary Debate Association (APDA) and participates in both American Parliamentary and British Parliamentary debate. Our team welcomes members from all backgrounds, with some members having prior experience with various forms of debate and with others who are completely new to the activity. As part of BUDS, you'll have the opportunity to attend tournaments at other colleges and universities as frequently as you like, with options offered most weekends of the academic year.
