Boston University

The sheer size of the University allows for a huge selection of courses, from French Regional Wines (SHA HF428), to Nietzsche (CAS PH419), to Stalking the Wild Mind (UNI HU311), to Drugs and Behavior (CAS PS333), to Extragalactic Astrophysics and Cosmology (CAS AS413).
The professors. Allow me to put in a plug for the following professors. If you are able to take some CAS classes, do yourself a favor by seeking these individuals out. While their classes are far from an easy A, the learning experience both in the classroom, and out, was an invaluable part of my intellectual growth. Take a class with Professor Roochnik (for ancient Greek philosophy courses), Professor Griswold (for any upper level philosophy course), Professor Hasselmo (for any psychology class), and Professor Somers (for Cognitive Science).

Boston is a great college town, and the locals are highly entertaining; especially during Red Sox season.

There are plenty of undergraduate research opportunities (a rarity at most American colleges) for any self-motivated individual.

There is no Greek life. That means no ridiculous rush season, during which students at most other universities are drunk, storming the streets in single file, yelling absurdities, falling to the ground for push-ups, and swallowing goldfish, all for a chance to join and “fit-in.”

The food, both off campus and on, is better than most other colleges.

West Campus cultivates that semi-campus feel.

The way BU beach looks at night, and the way it is reminiscent of fake scenery, which, one could argue, it is. It is the best grass on campus.

The intellectual atmosphere is really high at BU. This is the best environment for learning. If you are looking for more alternative methods of teaching, however, this is probably not the best thing for you.
