Anyone that has a hard time making friends or someone that is really shy. Because the school is so big and not close-knitted, it takes a little effort to make friend. A student needs to put himself out there and join clubs and introduce himself to people.

Boston University is a very big school, and as someone from a small community, I knew it would be a big change. I think BU is a school for people who want to attend a large university and experience life within a city. The kind of person who should not attend BU is someone who is looking for a small school, or a large green campus. That said, although you will see many faces per day, it is very easy to make friends, either in class, around campus, and especially within your dorm.

People who don't like city life and/or don't like sports should not attend Boston University. The school is better suited for outgoing people who love to participate in all the city has to offer (i.e RedSox at Fenway Park, Patriots, Celtics, Bruins...ice skating in the commons, nightlife in the alley, etc.) If you do not crave the bubbling life of a city in a more intimate small town environment (when compared to New York) then it's best not to attend.
Kellie
Someone who is expecting a close campus like USC or UCLA, BU lacks a central campus which is a turn off for many students. And anyone who does not adapt well to the cold weather should not attend BU.
Aimee
There is no type of person who shouldn't attend the school. Fortunately, there is so much to do that it is hard not to find something that you don't like to do.
Sarah
There are so many different types of people at this school that its hard to say who shouldn't go here because anyone could find a place to fit in. But if you're looking for a school with more of a "campusy" feel, I wouldn't recommend BU.
Katharine
BU students are not disinterested. The kinds of students that attend BU should not just do work and not gain any knowledge from it. They should be excited about going to class and learning from fantastic professors. A BU student is not afraid to be different and show their true colors. Hardworking and innovative, students at BU should not aim settle for what they feel like they can achieve. Those who are not willing to work hard and strive to be the best they can be are not an ideal BU student.
Jill
If you are not willing to put in the time and effort, BU isn't the best school for you. You cannot expect to party every night and do well, BU is a academically challenging school. Also, if you don't enjoy city life, and want a close, spirited campus, but is not a good option. BU campus is large and spread out, which lacks a common area for masses to socialize. If you like rural/suburban areas, BU is not for you. You live close to downtown, constantly hearing sirens, cars, and public transportation.
Mitchell
The type of person who should not attend Boston University is someone who cannot handle freedom and independence. At this school you are basically set free to make your own decisions, whether they be good or bad. If you cannot manage your time or make good decisions that will better your future you may not be successful at Boston University
Erin
someone who hates crowds, not outgoing enough to make friends easily, gets lost in crowd
