ratingOverall experience

My Boston University experience was all around wonderful. I loved living in Boston with so many universities and students. BU has a distinctive vibe of its own and you have to be at a certain point in your life to really like it here. Not to stereotype the entire student body, but the students here are INCREDIBLY open-minded and liberal. Everyone I meet here is a character, which is something that I really appreciate about the school. Most students are VERY worldly and sophisticated. Also, just take a look for yourself at the student body. BU has international students from EVERYWHERE. I have close friends from Mexico, Japan, China, etc.. and I'm sure most students are in my situation. Additionally, though BU is sometimes known as a school of rich kids. BU is not a typical college experience in the sense of going to football games every night and getting hammered... but at BU I've grown so much as a person - everyone is so open-minded that it makes it incredibly easy to interact with people from all different backgrounds and lifestyles and every day I discover something new that I never knew I was close-minded about. All in all, anyone will find their niche here, though I'm sure really preppy people who want the Greek lifestyle will probably get annoyed. The students here are dorkier than at most schools, but are incredibly open-minded dorks who like to explore new things and people and have fun. Lastly, the professors here are INCREDIBLE. I've moved from hating certain subjects to loving them. I would major in everything here at BU if I could. What is nice about BU is you really get a choice. If I'm in a campusy mood I'll go hang out at the BU beach behind the CAS building and will completely forget that I'm in the middle of Boston. And if I'm in the mood to interact with the city, I'll walk to class down Comm Ave with the T and the world of Boston passing me by. And if you're just dying for a real university campus, just bop on over to Harvard or MIT to study. In terms of an education, the classes are great, but mostly the BU students have made me a completely different person than who I was when I first came to BU. I can be whoever I want here with NO judgment and I've learned how to accept and befriend people from all different backgrounds and lifestyles. I loved my experience, but am not really sure it was worth all the money.
