BU's urban campus layout is kind of cool. Definitely not like NYU's where you have to look for one large purple flag to find the campus. There are also some nice green spaces along the Charles River.

People often think BU and NYU are the same since they are both located in the city. However, their vibes are entirely different.

BU has a distinctive campus with clearly defined entrance and exit points, more greenery, and a student-centered atmosphere. In contrast, NYU’s campus is less defined and shares Washington Square Park with students, residents, tourists, and homeless individuals.

Despite their differences, I think both schools are true urban universities in the U.S., offering a real city-life experience.
UChicago may feel less urban but provides a more traditional campus vibe.
I also visited USC and CMU, but they didn’t feel very urban to me.

It really is such a negative, to the point where dc doesn’t want to add as a likely.

These people are revealing their ignorance and lack of logical reasoning.

Maybe you’re confusing people of color with international. BU’s POC is 43%; international is 22%.

Pp reading “non white” and reporting that number as “international” students, yells the quiet part.

This is an amazing blend of intolerance, white tears, entitlement, and arrogance. Well done. No notes.

Didn’t you mean to add “it really is a negative FOR US?” I swear, the provincialism on this board amazes me; it’s like no one understands that people value different things. Not to mention the lack of judgement in deciding to eliminate a school based on one alum. It the equivalent of not choosing a school because “there isn’t a Chick Fil A.” Actually, it’s an even worse decision than that.

well that says it all

White 43%
Asian 14%
Hispanic 11%
Black 4%

I think chunk of the Hispanic are actually White.
Asian population is less than I thought.
It's one of the popular schools for Asians.

Anything </= 50% white works.

Total opposite for my DC. Going to a great university in the Boston area has its appeal. Being in a sold blue state during Trump's chaotic reign over the next four years? Even better.

If you're making a college decision based on where a politician went 10+ years ago, you are goofy.

What’s better than being in a blue state during Trump’s chaotic reign? Watching libs lose their ever loving minds over him and knowing there’s not a thing they can do about it. It’s fantastic. 🍿

With my DC in a great college in a blue state, trust me - he'll be an afterthought.
