Boston University Top Questions

Chemistry 101/102 is ridiculously hard, and basically all of your time is put into it. Also you'll see people who aren't science majors always leaving to go have fun and party, when you can't.

Although I loved going to a big school, Boston University has a lot of students; some people you will only meet once, then never see them again and some classes are a bit large.

The most frustrating thing about Boston University is the cost of fees and tuition. The university is absolutely amazing and offers so much to foster networking and growth academically, professionally, and socially. After my first year there I understood why the university expenses are high: its awesome!! Everything about the campus is cared for and looked after. The little details are made to stand out. However the cost of tuition and fees makes it difficult and frustrating for me to attend.

The school operates as more of a business than a school, help for students in situations that do not allow them to make a profit is scarce.

The most frustrating thing about my school is how big it is. Going to college in an urban city means that you dont have the advantage of having the college grouped together. The length of Boston University's campus is several miles long, so sometimes it makes certain buildings more diffcult to access depending on where you are

The most frustrating thing is having a professor who does not care. It makes their class unbearable to sit through because if they don't care about the students or what they are teaching, then why should I?

The most frusturating the about BU is its size. While there are many benefits to attending a large university, one problem is that it is easy to get lost amongst the crowd. You are in charge of your own experience at BU, and you have the option to make the most of it or not. Nobody is going to tell you to do anything, so you need to decdide what you want and be proactive about achieving it.

Due to the long, skinny "campus" that's cut in half by a highway, and the surrounding city, there barely a student presence on campus. Unless a class is really tightly knit and small (which is rare) it's difficult to meet people, when half the school is only on campus for class anyway, and 95{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of social activity happens elsewhere in the city. You would think that this age of living on the internet would make it easier to be connected, but really, I just want some face time!

It is humungous

that the RAs are very strict with drinking in the dorms and they love to call cops/ hospital at first sign of anything so need to chill out and realise that people (who are underage) will drink at college (and get very drunk) and jsut let it be when no one is being hurt. As they usually catch them when they are returning from a night out and all they want to do is go to bed, not have a big deal with the system of BU
