What students say about Boston University


Likes

  • However, it might still be a good degree if you are looking for job opportunities in the US.
  • BU has a university-wide career fair where students can secure an attractive average package of $100,000.
  • I received the university graduate scholarship, and the only requirement for consideration was an early application deadline.
  • All the infrastructure you can think of is available on campus - library, Wi-Fi, sports, gym, etc.
  • Living near places like Beacon St, Fenway, Kenmore, and Charlestown can be quite costly. However, if you venture closer to Brighton, St. Stephan Street, or Allston, you can find good and slightly cheaper places.
  • There are roughly 50-60 students in each class, and the professors are really good at what they do and super approachable.
  • BU, as it had the best research labs and faculties in my field in the USA.

Overall I am having a great experience so far and one more thing I’d like to highlight is Boston University has a lot of opportunities for on-campus jobs so you can make some money to pay your rent and have some fun as well.

  • Dislikes:
  • Campus is in the city. It has its pros as well like transportation is easy and there are a lot of off campus housing nearby. The only thing I dislike about the the university is that its very expensive. And as a city, Boston is expensive so off campus housing is also very expensive.

It was a really good and different experience. At first I thought it was very stressful but then you start liking the life here. It is definitely an experience that everyone should have once in their lifetime.

BU is one of the top private university, and it offers a Computer science program in 2 colleges: The art and science department and Metropolitan College. The graduate art and science department offer a less flexible programme, whereas the metropolitan college provides a more flexible programme(i.e. classes are in the evening). Student can choose either while applying. Data Science Faculty is quite good, and most of the professor had working professional experience in the past.

I applied to 7 colleges and of those, I was accepted to 5. Waitlisted at one and guaranteed transfer to another. So I went to Ithaca College for a year and then did guarantee transfer to BU. I didn't plan on transferring to BU but I hated Ithaca so much that I couldn't stand to be there for three more years. Transferring to BU was the best decision I made.

Scholarship, longer program and RA opportunities were most crucial
