Is there huge gap between BC and BU?

In my experience of knowing multiple people who have attended both universities, I would say that there isn’t a rivalry or really any “poor feelings” towards each other because they are incredibly different schools. BU is more of a modern city school (think NYU but a little less artsy/liberal) with a very professional and sleek feel and BC is more of a traditional university with big sports, religious ties, and a more suburban campus. I think most students at BC don’t lay up at night thinking they were at BU and most BU students feel the same, happy with their decision. They’re schools for incredibly different people, in my opinion

Honestly, BC seems easier to get into than BU based on my research (neither are “easy”, but BU has a significantly higher reported average SAT than BC). That being said, they have similar acceptance rates and similar name recognition.
