The services offered to students are more like amenities. There are hosts of tutoring programs, advising programs, supplementary classes and seminars. You really can learn anything you want. In the business school, students get access to Bloomberg Terminals, lounge areas, faculty with extensive industry experience, and career couseling/job search assistance.

It's incredibly expensive. BU should start trying to get the alumni network to be stronger.

awesome city location. Right on the outskirts of Back Bay Boston-- one of the nicest areas in the city.

Amazing professors, but choose them wisely. Getting stuck with a bad professor will hurt your grades.

No matter how hard you try, it all depends on how the professor grades.

Medicine, social sciences, and political science are the best at this school. I recommend for anyone going for these.

There are general requirements as well as major requirements. Class sizes varied - I had classes with over 100 people and I had one class with only 2 other students in it. Professors in my major (psych) were very accessible and my major offered many research opportunities.

freshman/sophmore dorms aren't that great, but juniors/seniors are able to live in Student Village which is really nice. They have done a lot of work on the stretch of Comm Ave, making it feel more campus like. The Student Union has great food!

I applied as transfer student, the application was pretty basic, although I was required to write an additional essay on why I wanted to transfer.
