In my mind, the school is best known for excellence in education and a wide variety of resources being available to students. That is why I have made the choice to pursue my graduate degree here.

I love our annual lobster night where every student on campus will get a lobster if they eat in our dining halls. I also love our annual Beanpot tournament. Happening at our TD Banknorth Garden (where the Bruins and Celtics play), the hockey teams form Harvard, BC, Northeastern and BU play in a tournament against one another. It's a lot of fun and the arena is packed!

I think my favorite campus traditions would be the school spirit that is shown at sporting events. I enjoy this the most because my high school was so small that the students didn't have much school spirit at all and rivalries were not really prevalent. Whereas, BU is another story where there are many rivals and the spirit is ever present.
