[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know several kids who attend BU and they love it. They've made great friends at the school and since Boston is a college town, they've made friends at several of the other universities in Boston. Academically, it's challenging and there isn't grade deflation as another poster mentioned, but they have maintained the same rigorous grading structure that most universities had 30 years ago (i.e., other national universities have grade inflation). I feel this helps students realize their actual standing relative to others and better prepares them for the realities of the workforce. Most employers hiring from BU understand the grading structure so we haven't noticed it impacting future employment.

Its a very selective school to get into and the bar is high (average 1430 SAT average / 32 ACT) but it's not the most selective. I know we need to take university rankings with a grain a salt, but it is a top 50 nationally ranked school and has been for years.[/quote]

It's incredibly expensive for what it is though, and they are sheepish on merit unless you're a super stat kid or have something else unique to offer.[/quote]

It's a campus located right outside of downtown Boston in the middle of a great place for students to live. That alone makes it attractive [/quote]
