Campus Visit Notes for Boston University
Visit Description:
Took Ultimate Terrier tour--worth the time--
Excellent tour guides gave a great tour of many university bldgs and explained why they choose BU, how BU helps them put together a major etc
It is a HUGE school but seems to have something for everyone
Our son put BU on the short list after looking at it...a large research university (physcial sciences/mathematics) with his varsity sport..
