<p>BC is technically ranked higher than BU. I’m pretty sure in both schools you would be in the Arts and Sciences College for economics. </p>
<p>As said before, the atmosphere at both schools is really different. BC is a “true” campus outside of the city with a center on football. BU is an urban campus with hockey as the main sport. </p>
<p>However, from a BU student’s standpoint, BU still has a great campus environment-almost all the buildings on Commonwealth Avenue are affiliated with the university, and there are always tons of students walking around. The upside of being at BU is the proximity to other parts of the city-we’re a block away from Fenway Park, and walking distance from the Boston Common and Newbury Street. If you’re looking for a completely traditional campus, then BU isn’t it. </p>
<p>Nevertheless I thought I wanted a school with a grassy quad and football and all of that, and I love BU to pieces. Just gotta choose what you’re looking for (assuming you get into both schools).</p>
