Coming to BU from Small Town?

I visited on Friday, and I and my parents kind of felt like it wasn’t the right school for me. I could definitely be happy there, but I don’t think I’d be as happy as I would be at some of my other options (namely, a gap year and applying to smaller schools). I’m coming from a class size of 65, and I’m used to being “known,” if that makes sense. BU is an awesome school and I love it, but college is a decision that’s going to impact the next four years of my life, let alone the rest of it in general, so I want to be sure that I am going to go to a school that fits me as perfectly as possible. :)

That being said, there is a possibility that my college counselor will tell me that taking that gap year is the worst decision I could make in my entire life, in which case it’d be back to a decision between BU and another school.
