I started off in CGS, which is probablySuper BrilliantCommunications
I started off in CGS, which is probably the best college there. The professors are super there, but I didn't like a lot of the students there because they are very stuck up and obviously rich kids who are going to float through school and go make millions for their parents or marry rich. When I transfered to the communiacations school, it didn't get much better. All the students were hippies with long hair, they don't shower, listen to bands that suck, but they say are good just because I have never heard of them before. Worst of all, everyone is the next great indie filmmaker. Even Sundance is too main stream for these obnoxious self absorbed hippies. However, as much as I don't like the student population here, its probably because just don't like students. The professors and other faculty members are great. I got to know a lot of the security guards, cleaners, police, EMT/Firemen and they are all very cool I would probably go to BU again given the chance, but I can't stand college students, maybe its just the pretentious New Englanders.

Question
I am planning a course of study inQuite Bright
I am planning a course of study in art history. I was very pleased to see that the students are really interested in the course of study and have a passion for it. When I went to a open house on campus, the student were dressed in historical costumes. I was impressed that they had gone out of their way to dress. Some of the costumes were excellent. I felt even better when some of the better or best costumes were rented from my home town of Providence, R.I. and were rented from my favorite store called ,

'Bruna Puppets and Costumes' . My mom used to buy puppets and costumes when I was a kid.I knew that BU was going to be my school.

Question
Hi all! So when I was always andBrightHistory/Histories (art history/etc.)
Hi all! So when I was always and avid Harry Potter fan and when I came to BU two years ago, I stumbled upon the BU Quidditch team! Quidditch you say? Yup! It is an actual sport, incorporating basketball, soccer, rugby, dodgeball, and flag football. Look up the International Quidditch Association if you don't believe me. :) So Anyway, if you are looking at BU as a potential student or if you are a current student, I strongly recommend looking into joining the Boston University Quidditch community. Right now we are a club but sadly, because BU Quidditch is becoming competition based, we either need to gain club sports status or lose our standing in BU. So if you ever want to play Quidditch at BU please show your support by clicking 'like' on our facebook page. [url]https://www.facebook.com/BUQuidditch[/url]Thanks! And if you decide not to come to BU, I recommend you join the Quidditch team of the college you are going to if they have one. If they don't start a team up! It is the best part of college. Hands down.
