What do you like most about this school? What do you like least?

The thing I like most about this school is the proximity to central Boston.  The city of boston is absolutely amazing with its historical sites around every corner, and its sheer cleanliness and beauty.  With multiple world renowned universities blocks away including Harvard and MIT, the ability to meet students from all walks of life is incredible.

I love the people at Boston University- everyone I’ve met on campus is really nice and friendly. The food is great (as far as college dining goes); all my friends who visit are always jealous of quality and size of the dining halls! I really love the fact that BU is situated in the heart of Boston, a college city. You can't go anywhere without running into a student- that’s reassuring when you've just moved away from home for the first time. I've come to think of Boston as a cleaner and quieter version of New York, with all the excitement of the Big Apple without its shortcomings.

The one complaint I have deals with a lack of visible school spirit. It's difficult to describe the BU community because there are so many different students. Even the famous Terrier hockey games no longer attract the same numbers they once did. However, this is largely due to the school's size.
