Boston
U IS fun! No, it is not as negative
as people say. And to the person calling it:
Bjew - you are truly a racist piece of crap/
(Actually the religous mix here is 30% protestant, 30%
Catholic and % Jewish. And each of those groups
are mixed by denomination.) It's great being in Boston.
You don't need a car and there's always something to
do and see. If you've be cooped up in
the suburbs this is the place for you - and
it is not as “watch your back” at NYC.
That's the good news! You will enjoy your environment.
However, academically it doesn't measure as high as they say
it will. The Alumni network will not get you
a job. When I would let an employer know
that I too had graduated from Bu, they would laugh
or ignore it. Alumni are NOT supportible of each
other - they would actually rather hire some “non-BU” person.
(I.E. Harvard grads hire each other, even San Diego
state grads hire each other and help each other network.)
The Film programs are overrated for a fact. As
are many of the other COM majors. Consider what
the current cost is, and truly see if you can't
obtain all that at a state college rate. You
probably won't get a return for your money and you'll
be paying off those student loans for YEARS! So,
unless you have wealthy parents - look elsewhere. The
smartest person I went to college with - transferred in
her freshman year to Fitchburg State College. Take a
clue. :) Good Luck
(And no, I would
not send my own kids to BU. Maybe Leslie
College, or another school in Boston.)
