This is a school for rich kids; programs are hurriedly constructed and faculty are very distracted (most teach 2-3 other places). Often Administrative Personnel and Faculty do not work for common goals in cooperation. Jul 03 2012 Art & Design Department

My experience with BU was mostly positive. I found the course material for the graduate level computer science program to be very challenging and relevant. I'm unsure about some of the negative reviews on this site, but everyone is intitled to their own opinion. I would recommend BU for anyone who wants a good learning experience. The only concern I have is the cost. Oct 03 2010 Computer Science

Based on over a year here, I would strongly urge any potential students to go elsewhere. BU is very expensive, you can get the same or better quality elsewhere, they will deflate/destroy your GPA (hurts you for other grad schools or employment, type in grade deflation online to learn more about BU's policies), and it is a very large, bureaucratic, unfriendly organization that could care less about your success or failure. If you are considering the school, feel free to email me with questions and I will provide honest feedback. Again, I would strongly encourage you to look at other schools.

In the MBA program you are treated less than a member of a community let alone as a paying customer. Those supposedly there to help are too busy passing off work to others in the beaurocracy to be worried about the student's academic progress or professional success. This fact caused me great headaches, actual money, and was a huge hinderance to my education. I regret ever applying to this program. Jan 09 2009 Business - Management and Administration

I'm in the online MSCIS program and the courses are superb! I couldn't ask for better professor's and facilitators to help through the learning process. The bill is a little steep, but well worth it. Some would say that online education is a second rate degree, but at BU..that is so far from the truth. A+ overall. Dec 24 2007 Computer Science

Studies are extremely hard. Considering that professors are too busy with research, or teaching a class of 50+ students, basically the teachers give lectures - and TA handles everything else including grading of exams. Teachers are very busy with research, and always assign projects in advanced levels to assist in their research - which could run into unexpected trouble at times. General computer labs had slow computers, which I avoided and used Computer Science lab instead. Don't expect much help finding jobs as I doubt employers relationship with university in Computer Science department is that spectacular. If you are planning on becomming a teacher or have already a position as a reasearcher in government or a private company, only then would I recommend this university. Plan to spend sleepless nights in your homeworks, and projects. Jun 18 2006 Computer Science

Boston University is almost completely focused on research. Since promotion and tenure are dependent on research do not expect professors to provide a quality education. Professors are rarely available to students and always bogged down with research. I would strongly discourage attending Boston University. Mar 29 2005 Psychology

BU School of Theology and the Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies are wonderful places to study. Professors and staff are all there to help you in any way they can. They frequently go the extra mile to make sure you are well acomodated. I received home like welcome and extremely generous financial support. Professors are world famous experts, yet approachable and genuinely interested in you, your research, career plans and goals. Wonderful mix of cosy atmosphere and superb academics!!!
