What kind of person should attend Boston University?

Cristin

Boston University is perfect for a student seeking an independent lifestyle and an open-minded environment. Students looking for choices and options will find them at Boston University. One should be driven to succeed on his/her own. With a student body of almost 20,000 undergrads and a campus spanning two miles down the busy Commonwealth Avenue of Boston, it can be easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle. Being self-motivated is a must ; there are so many activites to choose from, and one will miss out if he/she doesnt seek them out.

Boston University is definitely a big university in the heart of the city of Boston. Although there are over 16,000 undergraduates, there are literally 3 degrees of separation on this campus. Everyone knows everyone and if you don't know someone, your best friend probably does. It is a great University to attend if you want to meet a lot of people, do a lot of hard learning, live in a great college city and be successful at it all!

Strong academic achievers should consider attending Boston University. An enormous number of majors are offered here and the school is large enough to provide great facilities and labs. People who enjoy a diverse student body will feel right at home here. Every race, gender and sexuality is represented here. There is an immense number of student groups to engage in, but they are by no means required in order to have a robust social life.
