Boston University Top Questions

What should every freshman at Boston University know before they start?

Brandon

College is the student's experience and all choices should be his or her choice. The student should take charge of his or her experience there, especially considering their entire life will soon be their responsibility.

Visit the campus! talk to people about the classes and what they think about the teachers. Ignore the tour guides, it's their jobs to make things sound good and perfect when no campus is perfect. Stay with a friend overnight if you can and attend a few different classes so you can get a feel of the professors. BU has really bad grade inflation, certain majors are curved to a B while others are curved to a C which is ridiculous. I'm a good student in the biology department and I would NOT recommend a bio major here, there is not a good assortement of classes, teachers are not very helpful, the classes are really large.
