Questions on the test are difficult and unrelated to what you learn in lecture. Memorizing the book is the only way you can do well on the exams. The ...

good pr programs. communications too. they really know how to advertise here

My favorite college campus to be on.

Boston University is amazing in terms of the amount of opportunities students have. So many clubs, so many different majors, and there are tons of work, internship, and research jobs. They also help you find a career outside of BU. Students are all ambitious. Only challenge is that BU is pretty competitive - there is some grade deflation.

BU is a great school, it has flaws but they all do. At least you know you're getting a good education if you put work into it.

Great school with great professors, but hard work is essential.

One year at BU and I've already secured a research job, secured a summer job, made a lot of good friends, experienced so much in the city of Boston, and have truly felt like part of a community here. There are so many opportunities for jobs, friends, and academics. Classes can be really tough/stressful but the highs far outshine the lows. 9/10

Whenever I leave for winter break, I can't wait to go back! I love it! While it is hard, a lot of the buzz about BU grade deflation seems to be mostly about engineering students and pre-med students. Everything else is pretty normal. There are a lot of classes with amazing faculty and the vibe and location are great!

Boston University takes 4 years of physical lifetime and a lifetime worth of emotional turmoil. I cry every night because of the engineering curriculum. If you are looking for a good GPA, I would not recommend this program. I also believe that this school's approach to STEM does not give the necessary knowledge to apply in the working field.

I came to BU because I thought they had the best resources and opportunities, but so far it has been hit or miss. You really have to go out of your way to make those things happen, which I'm sure you would also do at a much cheaper public school. Little school spirit in terms of sports-- yes even hockey. Food SUCKS; they bathe everything in oil.

I love it here! Such a beautiful campus in Boston -- makes up for the constant stress of classes and homework.
