| i also had to choose between UM and BU, but since i've lived in miami my whole life, it was actually a pretty easy choice for me haha.
miami is really nice for people who have never been here and would love to attend college here and possibly live here, but i just can't stand the town anymore. some of my main reasons for choosing BU were that it's in the center of boston and it's very urban, which i love, and it also has a great reputation just like UM.
of course the weather is totally opposite between boston and miami, but weather for me was not really a factor in my decision. basically i would just tell your son to make the decision based on how he felt after he visited the campus. when he went to BU did he really enjoy it or did he just think it was okay? if he hasn't visited UM and isn't able to, then i guess he has a tougher decision. good luck! |
