If you are considering BU because it’s in an “urban location,” that’s one thing. If you think the Comm. Ave/Charles River area is an urban campus, you will be disappointed. They make a good impression during accepted students day and orientation, but spend two weeks here and you will know what I mean.

Especially if you live in West, the distance between points makes the campus feel large, but it really wears on me. In response to Chris2k5, have you seen Columbia?

And building off of what Lergnom is saying, much of Boston and Back Bay was built on landfill. When it rains, put on your bathing suit because there is less than no drainage.

Cliffnotes: BU’s campus is like the Bronx of Boston. Urban only in feel, inconvenient at best.
