There are so many opportunities to do the things that you want to do. There are a lot of people that help you be prepared for life after college.

There are too many great things about Boston University that top my list. However, one that greatly stands out, and in my opinion is the most important one, is the resources available to you as a student. BU greatly tries to emphasize student growth, not only personally, but also professionally by holding career events, industry leader guest speaker series, classes strictly for the preparation and perfection of student resumes, and much more. Coming from an area where professional sources are limited, Boston University really does thrive to provide the world at your grasp.

The study abroad program. This is one of the biggest and most global programs in the world. They have a study abroad location for everyone, no matter what your major or area of interest. Most students study abroad more than once. One of the major reasons I chose BU was because they were the first college I've ever seen to have a study abroad program for psychology majors. In Dublin, no less! This is an opportunity that many college students don't recievce, and I believe it's what makes BU special.

There are many opportunities at this school. There are a variety of languages one can learn, extracurricular clubs one can join, classes one can take, etc. If anyone is bored at this school, it is their fault alone-- but that barely describes anyone.

The best thing about BU is its ability to present itself as a top institution. Bu takes pride in afew highlights of the university that separates it from others. Such things primarily include its infrastructure. BU undertakes new building projects to expand buildings and to add additional square units of glamour to university. Simply said, BU is best at being pretty. This is helpful is a student is into aethestics, especially during finals or other stressful seasons during the acadmic year since a beautiful spot to study may help settle your mind.

The best thing about Boston University is that it is broken into small colleges that really focus on getting to know the students and helping them to assimilate into their programs and the school as a whole. I already have personal experience dealing with the professors who will be in charge of my career while in school, and who will have the ability to form my career in the future.

The campus offers a very urban feel with being located right in the city, however the campus is surrounded only by BU buildings and a few stores so it is easy to miss the hustle bustle of the big city.
Sarah
The urban campus of Boston University allows students to have easy access to the beautiful, cultural and historical city of Boston. Other than the unbeatable location, BU offers a wide variety of majors and clubs giving everyone a chance to find their perfect fit.
Kristen
The best thing about Boston University is all the resources available to students. Conveniently located in the heart of Boston, students can easily walk over to Fenway Park for a Red Sox game, spend the afternoon at the Museum of Fine Arts (which is free for students in the area), or go to a concert at one of the many venues around campus. Academically, BU always has interesting lectures going on regarding its reserach in a variety of fields. There is always something going on so it is very hard to get bored.
Leanne
Our campus is unique in the fact that we're such a residential campus. With a four-year housing guarantee, it's rare that you can find a city school that still has a strong residential community. We're also unique in that we're ranked in the top 10 American colleges for international students, so we have students from all over the country and the world.
Lisa
Many college campuses have buildings in a circle, however, at BU the campus is about 2 miles long consuming a large part of Commonwealth Ave. You will do a lot of walking, however, you have the mbta (trains and buses that go up and down campus) and you have the BU shuttle that goes from one end of campus to the other and even to the medical campus which is deeper into Boston.
Jessica
BU offers every class you could possibly want, any club you could want to join, any sport you could want to play. With a school as big and as diverse as BU, you will find your niche.
Polina
The best this about the school is its cultural diversity and its location. It is a very comfortably sized city, surrounded by some of the best schools in the world. I have made some great connections for life in Boston.
Michelle
The quality of professors and the vast array of course options are incredible. You can take a writing class about Dante's Inferno or different look at fairy tales, or you can take a class on Cosmology or Comparative politics. The opportunities are spread over many different colleges and majors and this is probably the best thing about Boston University.
Christopher
The tolerance of the student body. Regardless of whether one plays a sport, is part of a fraternity or sorority, or involved in another extracurricular activity (such as acapella), students are accepting and friendly.
Wilaene
The best thing about Boston University is its diversity. BU has a diverse community with people from all backgrounds, religious, cultural, and academic alike. Boston University has so many extracurricular opportunities for people with every interest in mind from athletic like football, academic like Pre-law or Pre-med society, entertaining such as the people watching club and quiddich or broom ball, humanitarian like ONE, Amnesty International, and UNICEF; and so many more. BU also has a diverse range of academic majors with over 10 schools to choose from the Fine Arts to Engineering, there are interests for all!
Jonathan
The best think about BU is the fantastic location. The entire city of Boston is at my fingertips. Not only are there tons of internship opportunities related to my political science major, but there are also plenty of cultural and entertainment experiences to keep me busy. There is always something to do, if you are willing to go out and do it. As far as my classes are concerned, my professors are all easy to contact, and it really has the feel of a small school.
Britian
the teachers and how much they inspire and care about their students and their progress. My school is focused on the process of growth versus the product and that gives me a positive attitude towards trying new things and taking those leaps of faith, without the fear of falling.
Aimee
Boston University is located outside of the city so there is the possibility to go and have fun in the city, but if city life is not your thing then the campus has so much to offer that you are not forced to go to the city to have fun. The amount of clubs, intramural sports, and activities that the school offers is fantastic. A student can definitely find their niche in such a large school, creating their own small community.
Andrew
The fitness and recreation center is definately the best. It has five floors of work out equipment from dance studios, pools, and raquet ball courts, to a climbing wall with a bouldering structure, plenty of weight lifting equipment, and an indoor track. They also offer a wide variety of recreational classes including martial arts, dace, yoga, and climging classes. FitRec is an fantastic place to go to when you need to unwind from all of your school work.
