While BU certainly has its downfalls, most of which are due to the sheer size of the University, there are plenty of opportunities to take full advantage of all that it has to offer. For the resourceful and motivated, a little effort will go a long way. The most important thing is to utilize your professors to your advantage. It is their job to be available to their students, and while some are certainly more attentive than others, students are not turned away by a professor when they have gone looking for opportunities or support. Keeping busy, being well-organized, and choosing a course of study that truly stimulates your intellectual interests will all be really helpful in having a successful experience at BU. Many students dread graduation day, and therefore, leaving Boston is not something they look forward to. On the flip-side, countless others would argue the opposite perspective. Accept your environment and work with it, as well as against it. Do not stay inside for too long, and do not drink away your college years. Make school a priority, and hang out with your professors (they are the best resource you have). Boston is a huge city with a really large population of young people. If you are looking for a taste of city life, and think that you would be able to establish yourself at a big university in a high-paced atmosphere, it is definitely possible to find your niche here.

Boston Is Schizo
B
Boston weather is about as unpredictable as anything. one day its 90 derees, the next its 60, one day it sunny, the next is snowing. Its hard to get to and from class, and rainy days do not motivation make. |

I Love BU
A
There isn;'t much to say, i love so much about my school. my building, the College of Fine Arts is a beautiful inside and out (its the only ivy covered building, which makes sense because the CFA acceptance rate is that of Harvard's acceptance rate!) and it is used and rustic on the inside with little bits of the past students everywhere. i think the Student Union is beautiful and really convenient, the fitrec is really nice and has almost everything you could ever need; and the entire set up of the campus is unique and timeless. |

Frustrating Yet Flexible Classes
B
For such a big school, BU is kind of bad at having enough sections of classes so you can fit everything in your schedule. Also, they restrict many classes to only fall or spring semester. However, there are a lot of options - independent studies, etc. - that compensate that. Furthermore, often if you just ask, they might be able to squeeze you into a full class. |
