Does Boston University have "Discussion Groups" for large lecture classes?

I go to BU and I’m from Los Angeles so I know the UC system well. In general, I have taken courses where you are in a classroom setting (20-40 students). Other courses may require a lecture hall. But none of the classes I’ve taken are ONLY Lectures. The school knows that students will be able to learn the material better if they discuss the lectures on a less ratio basis (professor:student). Also, UCSD and USD are both great schools! Congrats! I got into UCSD too! If BU is a top choice, and money isn’t too much of a factor, I would consider visiting. The Boston life/culture is very different than the UC system. Hope this helps.
