Small fish in a large school. There isn't a whole lot of personalized attention at Boston University. If you happen to struggle in any particular class, there isn't anyone to help you other than to attend professor office hours. The experience can be daunting, however, if you are a self-starter and are extroverted, there are definitely plenty of opportunities you can seek out.

Degree: Communications

I attended the second cohort of Boston University's Emerging Media Studies program, and while there were plenty of pros, such as working with professors who are doing great research, the program was a bit of a mess in that it didn't know if it wanted to be an applied or academic program, leaving most -- especially the more applied/professional students -- lost with what to do after graduation. It was a fun program at times, but ultimately it didn't help my career much.

I really wanted a challenge with my grad program, but my first two classes were really lacking. I feel like quality is an issue, and we are not being held to the standard I wish we were. My current class is an improvement, so I’m hoping my overall opinion will improve over time. My undergraduate experience had more issues.

While I don't think Boston University is for everyone, I believe I was set up for success. I can't speak for other fields of study, but the College of Communication did a great job of emphasizing real-world experience and extra curricular activities that directly translate to the real world. I can see how someone who is looking for a more enclosed environment with more personal attention might feel lost at BU, but for me, it gave me the push I needed to put myself out there.

I generally had an enjoyable experience; although Boston University is a big school, I didn't mind that there were so many students as its location in the middle of the city made it feel not as cramped. I felt like more of an average-above average student instead of a top student (as I was in high school) because the caliber of students was so high, but it didn't bother me so much nor was I made to feel like I wasn't good enough because I didn't have a 4.0. The professors were generally extremely... Read More

Amazing experience! Thoughtfully designed with international study body in mind, inclusive of working mid-careers professionals, curriculum based around real-world experience, stories and challenges. The quality of professors rivals any other school, the design behind the program was forward-thinking and inclusive, and the students themselves were extremely motivated to graduate from and thus contribute to such an enjoyable academic experience!

Boston University, my alma mater, holds a special place in my heart. The university offers a vibrant academic environment, diverse community, and endless opportunities for growth. From dedicated faculty to its dynamic city campus, BU truly prepares students for both professional success and personal development. Proud to be a Terrier!

Boston University is for elites with experts or knowledgeable professors. I truly enjoyed the time I spent taking class there in one of the most important areas of studies: Cybercrime investigation and cybersecurity. I had an amazing experience and gained very insightful hands-on experiences.

My experience at Boston University was helpful in jump starting my career. The faculty and curriculum offered are top notch and the professors care about you. I had a great community of colleagues and extra curriculums. The work load is very difficult to manage however so please prepare.

I was admitted in Boston University in September 2012 to pursue Education. The institution's environment was welcoming, and within no time I settled in. Fortunately, I got school accommodation, which made it easy to navigate to school and work. The friendly and supportive staff made it easy to manage the coursework, and finally, a graduated in July 2017.

I really liked how this university was in the city, I could walk to the city of Boston in under 30 minutes, and I love how the campus had the campus feel and also a city feel. Also promise, since it was a very diverse campus, I was able to interact with a lot of different kinds of people, and I feel like I the student body was the best part of this experience.

I had a great time at Boston University. The skills and teaching there were unmatched and I wouldn't have wanted to go to a different institution if I travelled back in time. They also prepared me incredibly well for medical school and their application process was relatively streamlined.

I attended BU from 2016-2020 and had an amazing experience. The academics are unparalleled and I was able to connect with some amazing mentors in my career field. There are also multiple study abroad options regardless of your track of study, and I personally think the study abroad program is one of the best features BU has to offer. The student demographics are also widely diverse. The campus is also in an ideal location, centrally located in Boston, and while the campus has an open, widespread... Read More

I think my overall time at BU was great, as I learned a lot and found community. However, my experience brought to light some other conflicts and policies that universities like BU unfortunately often take part in, and I'm not a big fan of those in my opinion.

I think BU has amazing access to resources and research, but that sometimes clouds other aspects of the environment. It isn't always the most supportive of individuals coming from backgrounds with fewer resources. Being in Boston, it provides and incredible, collaborative intellectual environment.

I fell behind, and the school didn't really do much to help me or ensure my success. It kinda felt like it just stranded me. I loved the environment, the people, the campus, and the professors, but I hated how it felt like I was constantly failing, and ultimately, even though I graduated, I did so poorly that it had no impact on my future career.

Boston University is a great choice for prospective students due to its location, value, and emphasis on independence. There was light oversight from advisors and I had a lot of flexibility to choose and carve my own path with the classes I took and majors I tried out.

Good education but the biology major has some classes that are made to weed you out, including biology 1/2 and chemistry 1/2. Overall the classes are hard but the professors are very nice. Boston is a great city to go to college and you meet people from all over the world. Good nightlife and great campus environment. But the worst part of the school is the cost.
