I visited a friend at BU for a weekend, and the best thing I learned while I was there: College kids in Boston know how to have fun.
While I was there, MIT and Harvard had huge parties that kids from all the other local schools were going to. Obviously, each school had their own parties, but the MIT and Harvard parties were being talked about everywhere, and since they were costume, you could tell which kids were going. We took the T around the city for sightseeing, shopping and errands. There are concerts, professional sports and cultural events every single day in the city, and smaller scale stuff on the BC campus all the time. I’ve heard BC football games are awesome, I wish I could have gone this year, but the hockey rivalry is supposed to be really fun, too. Needless to say, my friends who go to school in Boston love the city, and they grew up not far from NYC, so I think that says a lot. I definitely think BC has a huge advantage over a lot of schools in terms of social scene, even though there is no Greek life to rely on for parties and events.
