Casey
Someone who doesnt like being around a lot of other people, or people that arent willing to open up to other people.

There aren't many people who couldn't easily adapt to life at BU. There are simply too many academic and extracurricular programs. I suppose people who are opposed to change, or who would be uncomfortable attending such a dynamic school, wouldn't flourish here. Cases can be made for excessive partying, but the truth is, it does not permeate the entire college at all. If you don't go looking for parties/drinking/drugs, then you are unlikely to find any. The school is large enough where almost anyone can come out of their shell.
Menolly
someone looking for the feel of a small school
Teresa
I think that someone who does not like the city or large lectures will not like BU.
Justin
Someone who is lethargic and does not want to take the initative to work.
Joseph
The only type of student that should not attend this school is one that is avid college football fan because there is no football team here. Other than that, Boston University and the city of Boston offer such diversity for students that it is almost impossible not to find an interest for students.
Genna
some one who is quite and does not like to interact with people. Also, if you are going to school jsut to have a good time and pass on barley doing work this isn't the school for you
Serrie
Someone who is not willing to get the work done on time, or do it well. One really must care about their work and take advantage of their professors being leading experts in their fields. BU is not a place to come and just "do" the social scene. Academics are the most important thing, so if someone is not willing to do that, it isn't worth going there. Furthermore, it is a rigorous climate in which to live, work, and play. Someone attending BU has to be able to keep up.
Chloe
If you are looking for a close-knit community, a campus with a home/family feel, or a strong school spirit (i.e., sports/team oriented) BU should probably not be your first choice.
Alex
A lazy, unmotivated one. Someone who isn't into social activity and meeting new people would not like BU very much.
Nicole
Someone who is not academically focused and can't take criticism. There is really bad grade deflation and no diversity
Briana
There is no person who wouldn't find a niche
Ashlie
Boston University is a difficult school with high expectation for their students, so I would say that a BU student should not be a slacker or shoud not be looking for the easy way out. Otherwise, the more the merrier--according to BU.
Pinar
someone who needs to be pushed to talk to people- people who go to this school are very outgoing or they wouldn't really make friends. You have to make an effort to get to know people. If you want a small school and a close-knit community, don't go to BU.
Emily
BU is really for everyone -- there are no cliques and no one group on campus that is dominant. With over 400 clubs, and the possiblity of starting your own organization, there really is something for everyone.
Samantha
You shouldn't come here if you do not intend to take advantage of its proactivism and diversity.
Alix
Somebody who does not like cities and has trouble in large classes, especially if in the social science/liberal arts majors.
Petra
For the particular college (the College of Fine Arts) I went to... someone who doesn't want to work hard and delve deep into what makes them artistic human beings.
larissa
someone who is looking for a closed campus should not attend Boston University.
