I brag about how good of a school it is both academically and athletically. I feel accomplished for having been accepted into such a great school and love telling people where I attend college when asked. My classes are challenging and I have a tough work load so doing well is all the more rewarding. I love bragging to my friends, especially those from Northeastern, that BU are the hockey east champions. Other bragging rights include having a brand new gym with numerous facilities available to students, such as racket ball courts, rock climbing wall, and even a lazy river!

I brag about how welcoming and fun it is. You easily find friends here and activities to do on campus. There may not always be social events like parties every weekend, but you can be guaranteed that you will find something fun to do. BU is also in the heart of Boston, and it's right by almost everything you could possibly need.

BU has a great rep, great professors, and is a very difficult school. Most people get great jobs upon graduating.

Laura

BU was fantastic because it was so big there were always lots of choices. There were never problems getting into the classes you needed, and no wierd restrictions/prerequistites on half the classes. There were some huge lecture, but most classes were small and contained lots of discussions. Plus, being right in the middle of Boston is great; there was always something to do - a museum to go to, a show, shopping, etc.

Maureen

You have to have better grades to get in, supposedly.

That it is far from home. It's large and makes it easy to get lost.
