So sorry for delayed response but I’ve been traveling. Why BU - my daughter is in film/television production throughout her HS years and has a friend currently involved at BU TV who has really sold her on the film/television degree and BU TV program. Emerson has a better film/TV program than BU, but after a visit, it was not a good match. We have family near Boston so if I am sending her back east, it is comforting knowing they will be nearby as opposed to sending my daughter to NYU, which after a visit, also did not feel like a match. NYC was overwhelming to us compared to Boston. To be clear, this is NOT the only college my daughter is considering, it’s just the one that seems like the best match overall. Also, whether our daughter goes west coast or east coast, we will be taking on some debt to finance her college education - that’s just a reality for us and it’s one we can live with.
