Boston University Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about my school is that professors are not as available as I would have liked them to be.

Not sure... maybe the fact that it IS big sometimes is frustrating in that errors can often be made in the records/accounts departments, but just a quick call usually clears things up easily. But it's not frustrating in a way that makes you feel like you're lost as a number in the crowd. Because you tend to see the same people all the time in class and in social groups, it doesn't actually feel big at all!

The level of grade deflation.

I would say the most frustrating thing about my school is that it does not give out enough financial aid to those who need it. Although I was given financial aid, unfortunately some of my good friends and colleagues are forced to take out hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans that they will have to pay back for years after they graduate.

The dumb freshman biddies. Please do not be one. Dont where a short skirt in 20 degree weather. Don't comple a million walk of shames your first year. Stay classy.

I wish that the school was less expensive, but there is a lot of financial aid available.

I'd have to say the most frustrating thing is the guest policy. The guest policy is very strict and thoroughly enforced. I think it's kind of a rough especially with Boston being a collge town.

The guy to girl ratio is very upsetting. There is a ridiculous number of girls and not that many guys. Also, it would be nice if people were willing to keep making friends even if they are already in an established friend group. Also, we don't really have a campus so a sense of community is lost.

The most frustrating thing about being at BU is that it seems very impersonal at times. BU is a big school of about 16,000 students so making new friends after the first semester can be hard. I encourage everyone to join a club or organization or get an on-campus job so that you can continue to meet new students instead of getting stuck into the same routine with the same people. It's important to have a good base of friendships, but don't forget to branch out and make new friends!
