Better financial aid and preferred location.[/quote]

It sounds like this happened in the past.  Can you tell me how your kid liked/is liking BU?  We did a tour in the fall and it was our favorite it Boston.  But, the lack of a traditional campus and rumors of grade deflation have us a little weary. Have these been issues?[/quote]

My kid is thriving there. I think, in the end, the school is a better fit for my kid. 
The whole area around BU is considered part of the campus. They can walk everywhere to enjoy food, exhibits, shopping, Fenway park and the library, or hop on the T to visit the Public Garden, downtown or the aquarium.

Her friends are all a nice and smart group. I haven't seen any grade deflation for her so far since she has gotten all A's, but it might get harder. She's already a junior standing (going to be a sophomore), thanks to all the credits she earned in high school. 
So getting a Master's degree within four years is part of the plan (they have a BA/MS program).[/quote]
