Campus Visit Notes for Boston University


Visit Description:

To be honest, BU was just a school I was looking at because someone told me to, but I fell in love. Everything was great; there was tons of school spirit and always people everywhere.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

I do NOT recommend the Buckminster Hotel, it's close but unsanitary.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

There is a trolly-like train which seems to be a very interesting way of traveling around Boston.
