My good friend goes there and he's pre-med. The overall ranking of the school is low because they have certain programs that are very community college-like. They do have parties, I just heard it's a loooong walk.

BU has an awesome communication program... they were the best a couple of years ago... the best in the nation... if ur really into communication u should look into the BU communication..and Emerson College is really good too...hopefully this help

hey, i'm a freshman right now and people study but not all the time... like friday and saturday night, pretty much my whole dorm is out partying haha. if you don't like partying that much you can still go out and explore the city, there's a lot to see and do in boston. also, since there's like tons of other colleges here, you meet ppl from other schools, so far, i've met new friends at harvard, mit, and wellesley. it's a fun campus, though people do work hard. hope this helped!

feel free to PM me if you have questions! biggrin.gif

hmm...i was thinking of going to BU. i got accepted into the school of management for accounting major.
i think i'm going to the preview day on the 19th, anyone else going??

so i have so questions about the campus
are the dorms big, and is it double or triple??
food: good?? bad?? edible??
how big is the campus, like is everything pretty much in the same area, or is it really spread out around the city?
are the students friendly? easy to make friends? (i know it really depends on your personality and such, but in general...)

the only issue i have w/BU is that it's really far from home, and i know i'll get homesick.

BU is one of my top choices! :]

I heard that although their ranking isn't high (whatsoever - it's ranking is much lower than UCR and UCD), people still become really prosperous and leave school very well-off. Someone said something about how by the time most undergrads graduate, they work for corporate companies and do what they really want to do.

But I heard that there are a lot of snobby, rich kids. They feel like they can do whatever they want because their parents can afford it (but that's probably true with almost any east coast school).

As for social life, I heard it's bomb. It should be, though, seeing that it's placed at the heart of Boston City. :]

I can assure you numerically the ranking might be lower than UCR or UCD but reputation wise, BU is better than UCR and UCD.

I can tell you that is true about the rich kids part.. happens mostly at east coast skols because all these pple i have to say come from the surburbs and they know nothin about the city life at all...
i see tons of these kids at suffolk... and its quite amazing to be honest...
but yea the dorms are small mostly for freshman they dont get the best ones... but it all depends on where u goin
