Boston University Top Questions

I wish someone had told me to be sure to attend all of the activities put on by the school including spring block parties and city excursions. I also wish I had been advised where the best places to meet people were and which clubs are the most fun to get involved in, such as the intramurals. Some things that I am glad I was told are to attend office hours with teachers and to get involved in student-to-student tutorials.

About the different colleges within BU

That people would be so snobby.

I wish I realized the severity of the financial burden I was placing on my family and myself by attending such an expensive school. I would recommend potential students do extensive research and soul -searching on what they look for in a college. While I love everything about my school, my financial situation remains a constant strain on my family. If you choose to attend an expensive school, make sure you choose a career that will allow you to repay your loans.
