What You'd Expect from a Big School.
There's a pretty decent variety since the BU is so big. You should be able to find anyone you're looking for eventually. Whether it's the sensitive artistic type, future astro-physicist, or die-hard sports fan (although I recommend spending time in West Campus if the latter is your preference).

Sushi and City Convenience
Although you might expect BU to receive high grades in this category, there really isn't a whole lot going on at night. In a way, the city (with the exception on bars) shuts down relatively early. You're best bet as a freshman is to get some sushi off campus (open until 3am I believe, along with the convenience store underneath Warren) or order a pizza from Dominos or Papa Johns (not that thrilling, and you'll have to pick it up downstairs due to security in the freshman dorms).

In the City
The thing that sets BU apart is obviously its location in the middle of Boston. While you miss out on the classic tree lined campus with rolling hills, you have the advantage of feeling more like a grown up living in the city. You take The T rather than some designated college bus and also have the advantage of NOT hiking up ice covered hills in the middle of January...the ones on the typical campus.
