There is no campus, some would say thats a bad thing but the students are emerced into Boston and everything it has to offer.

BU is huge. 17,000+ undergrads. As intimidating as that was at first, I've not grown to love it. I'm always meeting new people and finding out about cool things going on around campus. It's exciting because being on campus never gets old. I also love BU's location and unique campus. It's not a little bubble closed off from the city. We've got a couple of streets to call our own, but we blend right in w/ the rest of the city and are super close to all the best spots in Boston.

Boston University is very diverse school in that you will meet students from all over the world, which will help broaden your cultural horizons. In addition, Boston University is located on the edge of the city, giving you a city feel while still providing you a rural school setting. Boston University also allows you to develop a small family of friends within a large family of students attending the University.

I wouldn't go to BU if you came from a small school and had a really close group of friends for a long time. You have to be able to deal with being alone, or making superficial friends, and feeling like its hard to fit in. It isn't easy to make friends or fit in, because the student body is so big and different, it is hard to find your niche, especially if you are a little shy or insecure. So be wary.

Boston University offers the independence that no other school can give. Living in the middle of Boston and going to class has been an amazing experience. Everyone here is so motivated, inspired, and independent. I could not have picked a better place to attend. The people. atmosphere, and academics makes this school truly unforgettable. There is honestly a group for everyone here and I don't feel socially pressured to join a sorority or a certain club. I can be whoever I want and that's all that matters.

BU is very large compared to the other schools I considered, and very urban.

It has a large student population but still maintains high academic standards. The professors are mostly well known throughout their own fields, and actively try and spark your interest in their subject. The campus is located on a main street, with many branch streets off of it. Fenway park is right next to the east part of campus.

Compared to many other schools in New England, Boston University is extremely diverse. We have many students from various diffent backgrounds as well as a large percentage of international students. This can be clearly seen by the statisics of the students enrolled, but I have personal experience. I have met so many different peole in just one semester and have really increased my cultural experience. A boy from Mexico taught me how to salsa, and a girl from Brazil taught me how to speak Portuguese. I have made many friends from different cultural backgrounds that I wouldn't have elsewhere.

This school is located right in the heart of Boston. In my opinion it is the school's greatest strength.
