Boston University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Michelle

I like the fact that we are in the city and that we are accessible to life off of campus. We are close to many other campuses and can get involved with other schools . I like that the school offers many programs and many oppurtunities for everyone

Urna

there is something for everyone here. it is very accommodating.

Jacqueline

It's location. I love being right in the city.

Ashley

I love that it's close to the city and all the different kinds of people that go here.

Karin

The location and the number of intellectuals that surround you when you live here. You can see Harvard, MIT, and BC from the top floors of the buildings.

Shelby

The diversity and location

Victor

Diversity, the amount of activities it provides, and opportunities.

Lea

The best thing about my school is the fact that there is so much diversity here, it is hard not to find something you are interested in.

Leslie

I love the diversity and location of the school. Boston isn't New York City but it suits me well because there's plenty of diversity amond the thousands of college students that live in the area, including a large amount of international students. It's great that I can walk downtown from my dorm in about 10 minutes or hop on the T (subway) or bus across the street to get to class or elsewhere in the city.

Renata

The best thing about BU is its location in Boston.

krystal

The city-Boston is truly a college city. Anywhere you go here you see college students and other young professionals. Its inspiring!

Paul

There isn't much to say about BU that is good. I could go on and on about how poor the academics, are how poor the food service is, and how poor the housing facilities are. Or about how run down the buildings are, how the university wastes energy, and how the students are never given an opportunity to voice their opinions or concerns. Or how everything is over prices, the university is taking advantage of the rich parents' money, and how there is very little value in doing to this school. But you want something good? The location only.

Miles

BU is absolutely what you make of it.... being in the middle of Boston is a large part of that. If you want to network with professionals, be a social butterfly, hear top academics lecture, or melt into the culture of the city, you have a good chance. BU is dauntingly huge, but once you get over the initial mayhem, it's a great place to figure yourself out and be your own person.

Jillian

BU is a great academic institution that is divided into separate schools and colleges that can give students more of a sense of community.

Ana

the diversity of the student body. there are students from all over the world. My friends and I always joke that we are the most politically correct group of friends.

Molly

The best thing about Boston University is the academic and extra curricular programs and facilities offered on campus. The Boston University Community Service Center provides students over a dozen of volunteer programs; intramural sports are a great way to make friends and stay active. Our fitness facility, the BU Fitness and Recreation Center is a state-of-the-art facility that gives those associated with the university and the community at large the opportunity to climb a rock wall, swim a wonderful competition pool, take a fitness class, or just exercise freely.

Amanda

the city and opportunities available

Esther

The best thing about my school is the professors who are all intellectual, kind-hearted beings.

Isabella

The resources available, the quality of the facilities, and the information gathered from class as well. There are some teachers who aren't the greatest at engaging and making lectures exciting but on the other end there are a good amount who are good lecturers. For the most part most of the professors are available to meet with and get in touch with. The atmosphere is comfortable. I haven't felt out of place yet because of the diverse population that attends this school.

Samantha

It's located in the city of Boston. There is a city-like atmosphere, but it still has a campus separate from downtown Boston. I love this because if there is nothing to do on campus, I can always go downtown.

Yasmeen

The best thing about Boston University is the academics, which are definitely this school's strong point. The professors are generally very knowledgable and most classes are stimulating.

Chelsea

The size is one of the best things about my school to me. I love the fact that it's so big that you can truly be yourself and never feel out of place. Everyone also has such different backgrounds that we can all learn from each other. There are so many people that there's always someone around that you can learn from.

Christine

The best thing about Boston University is the location and the resources available to the students.

Amanda

I love that I'm getting a great education. That's all that really matters for me in the end.

Laura

Our professors are paid a LOT, but more importantly, they're worth it. They are extremely knowledgable and obviously very successful in their professions.

kimberley

It is a city school with a city campus. It is not sheltered and you live in the real world surrounded by real businesses and the REAL things you are learning about. There is TONS of things to do on and off campus because it is intergrated in one of the best locations for people of any background or race under 30 years old.

Yairmari

Accesability

Neela

The communications program it has is amazing. Since that's my major, I'm really glad I go to BU. Also, I want to minor in Business, and the SMG program is also very good. So I feel good about getting some really good experience out of my bachelors degree.

Helena

It's hard to pinpoint one thing in particular about BU that makes it so great- it's really just the whole experience. If there were one specific thing, I would say it is great that the school has so many study abroad opportunities. Almost every student I know has been on a study abroad trip or is planning one because they have a wide variety of options and the trips are very fun and affordable.

Lindsey

The school is really large which allows you to get to know a lot of differnet people and not get stuck in one crowd. The larger size also is nice because rumors don't follw you around as much. I come from a really small high school so having the anonimity is nice.
