BUET recognizes the importance of mental health and offers support services for students dealing with stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues. The university provides counseling services through dedicated professionals who help students navigate academic pressures, personal issues, and life challenges. Workshops and awareness programs on mental well-being are regularly held to destigmatize mental health discussions.

The hostels are equipped with fire safety measures, and emergency evacuation plans are in place. Moreover, each hostel is managed by a provost and assistant provosts who oversee student welfare and maintain discipline. The university has implemented a strict code of conduct in the hostels, and students are encouraged to report any safety concerns to hostel authorities or the campus security team.
