Boston Unviversity Review

disgusting school for like ever. decide not to go for the fall. The professor just treats you as a number.

Beautiful campus.I am amazed and thoroughly disgusted that BU is giving their residential assistants guides that state that men cannot be oppressed just as white people cannot be oppressed. If you have a dream or a passion, you can make it happen at BU.Evidently, these two groups don't fall under the Umbrella of Oppression that BU believes to be true.

Beautiful campus, and a wonderful place for students to study!

Changed my class location and professor ONE month before classes were gonna start. Had a work out plan set and close classes, now I have to either get rid of my work out plan or sprint from one side of campus to another. Horrible school, don't go here if you can avoid it.

The people are very kind, lots of people jogging, quiet and peaceful

I truly believe the 1 star review has more to the story than what was told...

Since my first contact with this university, it has been outstanding. I am attending for my master's degree, so this is not my first college/university experience either. From the application process through my first class, all of the information was provided and outlined for every step. Financial aid details are clear, and the assistance was always available. The professor and facilitator have been exceptional and the class is very challenging. Couldn't be happier with my choice to attend here.

Graduated 25 years ago. Great campus. Great city. Great experiences.

Got much harder to get into than when i applied - read: if I where applying today I wouldn't have been admitted! :).

They have very low standards for teachers. They support racism.

School staff are okay, but some professors are disgusting and disrespectful. They treated me as a number. Their classes are surprisingly easy to pass beacuse they are busy. I transferred out immmediately after the first semester. However, my Chinese friends, if you like Boston, BU is still a good option, for HRs in China know of BU more or less.

Incredibly warm and inviting student body. This was my dream school and I'm glad to say that after attending it is still my dream school. I have had such amazing opportunity in the last 6 months of attending this university. Once I acclimated to this undergraduate population of 18,000, it started to feel like a community of 200. I broadcasted all of my high school's sporting events, and never thought that I would have an opportunity to do that at Boston University. 2 months ago, I found myself as the play-by-play announcer for Boston U basketball. If you have a dream or a passion, you can make it happen at BU. The sky is the limit at this place. I can't say enough about the incredible friends I've made. I would definitely suggest applying, and possibly applying early decision. This is the ideal college for any high school student!

I am amazed and thoroughly disgusted that BU is giving their residential assistants guides that state that men cannot be oppressed just as white people cannot be oppressed. Evidently, these two groups don't fall under the Umbrella of Oppression that BU believes to be true. Anyone can be oppressed depending on the situation.

In your efforts to be politically correct you have just oppressed all males and white people in general.

Disgusting!!

Beautiful campus, and high standards of academics

Easily accessible though green line
i luved my 2 yrs of stay here

Great experience at BU. I came here for my BA and MA, and formed some of the best relationships of my life. The students are talented and diverse and faculty are accessible and helpful. I've been very employable since graduating 12 years ago. BU seems to continue it's aggressive climb in the rankings while becoming more and more selective as an institution. Boston is also a great city to be a student with its culture, arts and many students. The many nearby beaches, world class programming and amazing mountains help too!

Murcia.spain says hola to Tomas scholarship of 140000 USD to study politics in Boston. The inglesgarantizado teachers say bravo.

Can't wait to go there and start my graduate study! Got a good scholarship. Thanks, BU!

Current student, having a wonderful experience. The city is amazing and the diversity on campus is like no other. Wonderful engineering program. Proud to be here.

Boston University is a amazing university but there are many research opportunities for medical students. Moreover,
University offers a plethora of activities and resources for your benefit. I absolutely love it!

I graduated from Northeastern University in 1990 and have to say it was one of the best experiences of my life. I loved the cooperative education that they offered. I worked for half the year in the real estate field as a Realtor and absolutely loved it. I ended up sticking with it and have been in the business now for 25 plus years. The cooperative education program allowed me to figure out that I liked this field of work. The atmosphere of course is excellent as you are located in the hear of Boston. I would highly recommend this university to anyone who is looking to study business or marketing.

I graduated in 1975 with a BS in physical therapy. It was a great program and a great town to attend school in.

First off, people who rate this place and have not gone here, discredit the ratings. Don't rate until you have gone here. Its as ridiculous as saying you don't like something you have never tried.
Professors are far more concerned with themselves and about complaining how much better they are than BU.
1. BU makes a business of pulling scholarships. (and changing scholarship requirements mid semester)
2. One of the smallest endowments for a school of its size. (school less than 1/4th the size blow it out of the water.
3. Terrible alumni relations. Alumni largely want nothing to do with this place after leaving.
4. I have been on interviews with alumni where I am told "I don't hire BU students"

great School, but some of the professors aren't super friendly

For the wifi. 200-300 mbs download 250-350 mbs upload.

5 star wifi, even avaliable for visitors.

No comment on the school though.

Current Student at the College of Arts and Sciences.

My daughter is attending a six week review course at Boston University to help prepare for the MCAT. Great university and convenient location along the Charles River.

Can't think of a more biased way of presenting universities...good job, Google! Anyway, as a student I will give my obvious 5 stars now.

Bad dormitory. Expensive price. Don't feel fellow students are friendly towards me(I am asian). A lot of professors are busy doing their stuff than helping you.
Mostly liberal hard to find fellow Trump supporters. Have to listen to professors rant about Trump every week/day(depends on professor, humanities are very biased against Trump)
No much good place to eat and play near by. Convinience store are overpriced(city conv) and don't have many things that should be there. Dinning hall's food is usually terrible and only serve Pepsi.
I would suggest you think twice if you want to major in STEM. Most people here I know/met are humanities/social science. Not very hard working climate. I won't do my grad here if I can get away. Talk to someone here before deciding.

Couldn't have picked a better place to spend my next four years. After only 2 months, Boston University already feels like home. Academics are extremely rigorous, which can be painful, but the results are worth it. There's never a shortage of student activities to do. Dining and residence on campus tend to be a joke among students, but we have it far better than many other universities; I love eating on campus and living in my dorm. Best of all, I meet new people every day who are incredibly open-minded and diverse. There's a reason I became a BU ambassador!

Boston is the capital of Massachusetts, one of the beautiful places, the city of medicine, its universities and its universities, the most famous and best universities, pharmacy and surgeries of all kinds, and the city is more advanced in medicine than others.
And also a tourist and heritage city, and it is one of the first tourist areas
In it you can find all the entertainment you need, which is free and river, and also has a very high safety rate

I'm from India..
Boston university 20 student are come in The Study hall College,Lucknow,india..
Thank you so much Boston Student..
I'm very happy..

THIS IS MY DREAM SCHOOL, THIS IS SO MY GOAL TO GO HERE :)

Beautiful and the tour to see the university was excellent and the presentation was the best in compere with others that I saw before, very organized and go to the most important point to be admitted.

Cannot forget my time spent here . Those were the best days of my life . faculty and environment is great

This university is a powerhouse in terms of hockey. Other than that, that's about it......

Go Terriers........

If there were an option for zero stars i would have rated it as such. Boston University is possibly the greediest, least compassionate school i have ever encountered. Let me start off by saying BU was my dream school, and thus is why i applied, and was accepted, early decision (which i would not suggest to anyone). I was ecstatic to be attending in the fall, until MONTHS after my acceptance when they gave me my financial aid package. Even though for the past 5 years my father had only been employed for 18 months, and my mom was making approximately $30,000 a year, they offered me about $2,000 of financial aid. Leaving me and my family to find a spare $58,000 on our own. We filed an appeal to explain that all the money we had saved over the years for college had become our living day to day money, and that because of the early decision agreement they had me sign i was not allowed to apply anywhere else, leaving me without a back up school, AND on top of that by the time they gave me my financial aid package, all the universities in my home state (Florida) had already passed their application deadlines. Several weeks later, i received an email stating that they declined our appeal and could not offer any more money than previously offered. Their explanation as to why? Because although i did qualify for needs based financial scholarship they cant just give everyone that qualifies a scholarship. It crushed me, and as of right now i'm not sure what i'm going to do for college, and it is the scariest, most stressful situation i have ever found myself. I just wish this school would care more about helping students build a better future than money.

Beautiful campus. The staff I've talked with seem very knowledgeable and genuinely interested in others. Love the location and the business program!!

Very convenient bridge - so much shorter than Mass Ave. Also keeps my feet dry.

I ve been exploring university trying to see what s the best fit and it s be fun and these place has great energy to it !

A nice university in the best city for education! It is so close to Fenway park and downtown area although a little expensive.

Very nice place and they put on a nice Lebanese event.

Great school and easy access to everything financial aid was a breeze!

Here is my experience as an undergrad CS major:
If you work hard, and legitimately give it 100% of your effort, you will do well. For the most part, teachers want to help their students and will try their best to make you prepared for the industry.

Words of wisdom:
If possible, try and find a nearby space off-campus living to save $
Always do your research on rate-my-professor before picking classes
All nighters may happen...
Go to office hours if you need to and use all resources available

Going to this school has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. I originally transferred from a public college in NYC and I can tell you the difference is NIGHT and DAY. I've seen some real unqualified staff that don't care about their students; but that's not the case at BU.

In addition, there are so many clubs and activities. Because there is such a diverse student body, there is something for everyone here. Just put yourself out there and I promise you'll meet some really cool people.

one of the staffs at the library served white students first simply because he is a white too. while I was there waiting in the line before the white students.

I graduated from here with almost zero financial aid. This university pretty much want your $. My degree was pretty much worthless. If I had to do it again, I would take my $ & start a small business.

It gets better every year. The sky is the limit for BU

I am a current student here. Beware if you are looking to go to this school. The name is good... But let's be honest here, it's not Ivy League. Despite that fact, they make you work like a dog for your mediocre grades. I'm talking 150 page papers... 2hr midterms that end at 9pm and then you start another 2hr midterm the next morning at 9am. It's unnecessarily relentless. They push too hard. Also a lot of professors here are terrible. Use ratemyprofessor or a website like it. If you don't you will truly suffer. Plenty are good... But you have to make sure you get the good ones. That's totally up to you. I'm just surprised that for about $75,000 a year they can't manage better. And yes, that's how much it will cost to attend every year if you don't have financial aid or scholarships.... Now that the rant is over I have to add the campus is unbelievably beautiful and it's an awesome location in Boston.

i would like to visit boston in two weeks in summer zuloagacanet star @ gmail

great university, great English school for international student
