Boston University Students
Tell It Like It Is
Things I Wish I Knew Before Coming to BU
* The extremely high cost of living this is especially difficult for your first taste of off-campus living.
* BU is extremely conservative, especially considering the liberal student body. The former president of the University, John Silber, despite being a Democrat, seems as right-wing as they come regarding policies. When petitioning for more lenient visitation rules, students were surprised to hear this widely published response: "It is not our job to provide a 'love nest' for our students." He also disbanded the homosexual student organization at the BU Academy. This, among many other executive decisions made by those running the University, are often the spark for public controversy in the media.
This is, of course, a very small sampling of what you need to know before choosing Boston University. If we told you everything, you wouldn't buy the book! Check out the College Prowler BU guidebook to get the full lowdown on . . .
Guys and Girls:
"The guys and girls vary. Some are really hot and some are really not. However, a lot of the women are Prada-wearing Gucci pushers, and the guys are pretty much the same. However, you do find your niche, and there are so many people that it doesn't really matter. One thing: there are more women than men. A good number of the men are gay. I have been told there is a drought of good, straight men . . . keep that in mind."
Academics:
"As a freshman, you will have huge lectures, and depending on your major, that might not change too much. The teachers arebrilliant, but you might get lost in the crowd."
Local Atmosphere:
"There are so many other colleges around and it makes for some crazy times and lots of opportunities to meet people. Boston is definitely a college town. There are so many things to see when you're there. The historic aspect of Boston is fascinating, and it is beautiful all year round."
And much more. Find out if BU truly has something for you, straight from the students' mouths.
