BU comes up a lot together with schools like BC, Tufts, NU, NYU.

You should have high stat for sure.

It was a little bigger than he wanted but he was applying for the honors program (I forget the name) which apparently came with housing. He didn't wind up there but I'm sure it would have been great.
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.
DS liked BU but it just didn't win the race for him over BC. He's first year now at BC and spends a lot of weekend time at BU.

It really is such a negative, to the point where dc doesn’t want to add as a likely.
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.
Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night.
Sleeping like a baby.
ZZZZZZZ 😴

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.
What are you implying?
what you're screaming
