Beyond Satisfactory
The food at Boston university is good, and the cuisine is great, especially if you attend the West Campus dining hall. The variety is great, I couldn't imagine eating any better on campus anywhere. And if you ever do get tired of dining hall food, which is possible, you have plenty of options that will satisfy your need for extreme variety.

Diversity Is a Vague Term
At first, BU seems starkly white and off putting. However, the students the university attracts are extremely diverse in their knowledge and experience. This permits for people who may look extremely different, to find that common ground and comfort found in people that look similar to yourself. no matter what, you will fit in and find an amazing group of peers.

Strict
Police force is pretty strict. The school is against any underage drinking and other drug use. They rigorously train RA's so making it clear that you must follow the rules. RA's will not ignore many violations. The school makes examples of second and third time offenders. Just make sure you don't get caught, and avoid doing anything on campus.

Never Lacking
The school offers a wide variety of options to get around. Locals tend to prefer the public bus, however people who are not from the are find the train very useful. The train is simple and gets you from various points on campus, while at the same time easily taking you around Boston. Moreover, the school also offers free bus that takes you to all the different colleges, campuses, and dormitories.
