Living in Boston and attending BU is awesome–the best part about it is that there is something to do no matter what kind of person you are.

There are endless amounts of concerts–enough that I know people going to a concert nearly every night.

The shopping is amazing, the neighborhoods great, etc, etc, etc. The neighboring schools provide a lot of entertainment, especially MIT. Their parties are great!

One thing I think is surprising to people who haven’t been a student at BU is how much there really IS a campus feel. It’s easy to not really leave Comm Ave for weeks, and just hang around in the dorms and neighborhood apartments and frat houses from MIT. Honestly, people make such a huge deal about this being a “campus-less city school,” and it is in the sense that there are cars running through the middle of the campus, but I literally see 99% students on the street, hang around in the student union, etc, and it FEELS like a campus. But the good thing is that if you need to GET OUT and get some perspective on real life, or even if you just feel like going out and doing something non-BU related, there is always that option just a few minutes away.
