Visit Activities:

Information Session: Yes - I actually went to the Open House for accepted students, and it was great. Very informative and they answered all of my questions.

Campus Tour: Yes - Again, I saw most of the commonwealth/bay state part of campus through the open-house tours.

Campus:

---

They were all so friendly! I liked how they came up to me and asked if I had any questions, and I felt like they all really cared.

---

Everyone was extremely nice and helpful

---

It's in the city so don't expect that traditional college campus. BUT, it is pretty nice in it's own little way.

---

I went inside many lecture halls, some labs, and a few other buildings and they were all really nice, well kept, and some very new as well.

---

I saw a freshman dorm, and it was just like any other. Quite small and grimy.

---

You're in the city, but I feel like they do a good job with the security. I definitely felt safe at all times.

---

Just don't come here hoping for a typical campus. It's very urban and if you are up for that, then you will definitely like it. The area around bay state and charles river is gorgeous!

---

Off-Campus:

---

It's Boston! There's so much to do, you can never get bored!

---

Again, it's Boston. There's a sense of communtiy at and around BU in that almost all of the people you see are college students since there are many neighboring schools.

Campus Visit Notes for Boston University

Visit Description:

I went for the open-house and the program was very well organized. The students and staff were extremely helpful and friendly and I really felt like I got a good sense of BU in terms of academics and student life.

The campus itself is nice, but it's different. If you're not a city person, you won't like it.
