Campus Visit Notes for Boston University
Visit Description:
I'm from Hawaii, but I stayed with family near Providence for the summer. I took the train to South Station then the Green Line to BU. I got off at BU Central, which made more sense, but it turned out the admission office is closer to BU East. The staff were very nice and helpful. My info session was long and big, but overall informative. I pretty much wandered around the campus after the tour, and I really like the school. I don't get to Boston very much, so I got off at random T stops and explored the city. I had a great time, and BU is now my first choice!
Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:
My gramma's house rocks... fresh cookies daily! :P
Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:
The North End has the best Italian food outside of Italy.
Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):
The T! Parking is really expensive, and there were those people up and down the street giving out tickets.
