Boston University Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Boston University?

Dionicy

There is space for every type of person at BU. However, I think people who attend here need to be academically focused because it is really easy to let your grades slip if you do not put 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} into your studying and homework.

In my opinion, everyone should consider coming to Boston University but not everyone should come here. Boston University is a very rigorous school. Someone who is not willing to spend hours on homework each day should not come here. Also, if they are someone who studies for their exams the day before, they definitely should not come. Any exam here you need to study days before in order to do well.

Someone who is conservative or narrow-minded definitely should NOT consider Boston University. Additionally, someone who is looking for a rural campus with a distinct "core" should skip over BU; since we are in a city Boston University can sometimes seem integrated right with the rest of Boston. And while we have a good humanities program, those who are solely considering an English or History major might find better placement at a liberal art college built on perfecting that type of program.

Anyone that isn't accepting of other ethnicities, social backgrounds or religions should be prepared for the greatest culture shock of their life. Boston University is not only known for being an intensely diverse college, but does not tolerate any forms of discrimination. BU also has a huge student population, with other 16,000 students in undergrad alone. I've personally known several people who found it hard to transition to a city environment and have ultimately decided that a smaller school would be a better fit for them.

A person should not attend this school if they do not plan to do the work or if they will be required to live on campus.

Joseph

If you are intimadated by a large urban school with little campus feel, this isnt the school for you. Also, depending on your major, ths school can be either very easy or extremely difficult. Lastly, anyone who cannot handle New England winters should not move to Boston.

Polina

A person who would like to know everyone in his/her class. BU is a huge school with many people. Some people might feel lost if they are used to small schools. You shouldn't attend this school if you do not like cities at all. Although Boston is a small city, it is a city nonetheless. Also do not go to any school in the New England area if you hate the cold, especially humidity and cold combined.

Lisbeth

Since Boston University is such a big school in such a diverse city, I wouldn't say that there is any type of person that shouldn't attend this school. There is so much diversity that I am positive that anyone could find a way to fit in. However, if you're looking for a small cliquey type of school like high school was, then you've come to the wrong place, nobody is going to make you the center of the university spotlight! The most welcome kids are wealthy and usually preppy, so be prepared for that as well!

Brian

A close-minded conservative with fears of academic competition.

Patricia

Someone who's not willing to put a lot of hard work into their studies.
