Boston University Top Questions

i live off campus in an apartment with my friends and commuting to class is very frustrating because the transportation system in boston is kind of badly run. also - grade deflation - sometimes no matter how hard you work you cannot do well in a class here.

The expensive cost to attend school and poor quality of housing.

The administration is no help, and really doesn't care about student concerns. For example, there was an out break of bed bugs in my dorm and administration failed to notify the whole building. Instead, I learned from the school paper. This, in Massachusetts, is a violation of the health code, and yet the school blew me off when I complained. And they can get away with it too. They are more concerned with image than the students.

Besides hockey sports are not a big deal. It would be great to go to a huge tailgate for a football game. Or have a basketball team in the NCAA tournament.

Not a lot of racial diversity. Also the advisors aren 't as supportive in some cases.

There is a lot of paperwork and red tape just because it is a larger school. It isn't so bad once you learn the system, but it can be annoying.

Too big, not enough structure. Too big- not enough individual attention.

The housing selection process, but it will probably get better as a new dorm is opening next year.

I am enrolled in a popular major and a lot of my classes are very large. I wish that I had closer relationships with my teachers and that more of my classes were discussion based.

Many wealthy students, which I am not.
