Honestly, the worst part about Boston University is the amount of extra curricular activities available to students. It is not a bad thing to have these activities available; however, they all appear interesting and fun, that one might try to take on too many activities at once. Add that to the amount of course work a student has and he or she might become very overwhelmed. Therefore, students should exercise a bit of caution when join extra curricular activities.

I don't like the campus. There's not much grass, mostly just a few blocks lined with buildings on both sides.

The deflation of grades at this school is horrible. The way professors deflate grades and consider the average based on the entire class is a very bad policy and hurts many regarding their GPA's

The lack of spirit or community is the one thing lacking from Boston University. There is no definitve campus, just a busy city street. The lack of spirit for school sports is disappointing. The athletes do very well, but games are not well attended. Although there is much support for the hockey team, the sport only rallies a small portion of the population. Basketball and football are two sports a wide variety of people can enjoy. The lack of a football team/ the quality of the basketball program bring down school spirit.

All of the frats and sororities. It makes it difficult to find parties outside of that realm, but they are all very friendly so it really doesn't matter all that much.

The lack of financial aid is the worst thing about BU. Everything else is great, the facilities, the professors, the extra curriculars, etc. But for the amount BU charges per year, they should really offer more to their students who need help.

the grade deflation and the stress levels

I find it hard to keep a balance between school work and social life, or even having a social life at all. It feels like my life is consumed with homework and on-campus activities that I barely have time to go off-campus or anything and I don't understand how people have time to do this and how they can have fun during the school year because I certainly can't.

The worst thing about BU is the tuition cost, but the amount of financial aid given makes the school affordable for most students.
