<p>@Vlklngboy11 - It’s really hard to feel insulted by someone naive enough to shell out 26,000 dollars a year as a pre-med student for an undergraduate degree. (See: <a href=“UT-Austin vs Boston U vs Case Western - College Search & Selection - College Confidential Forums”>UT-Austin vs Boston U vs Case Western - College Search & Selection - College Confidential Forums)</p>
<p>Boston University’s 1.36 billion dollar endowment is doing very little for you personally when it comes to financial aid (after all - you’re paying nearly 30k a year as a pre-med student…) - so why would you be bragging about it? I’ve gotten full ride scholarship offers at schools where the endowment pales in comparison to BU - so what’s your deal? LOL. </p>
<p>Edit - you also never answered my private message as to the extent of which you were using loans to finance your time at Boston University - I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that perhaps you didn’t get the message. If you’re proud of BU (which every student has the right to be proud of their school) - you wouldn’t be ashamed of how you’re paying for it. </p>
<p>But regardless - to each his own. Allow me my criticisms and you your praise. @TomSrOfBoston is a very respected poster on this board and knows his stuff when it comes to Boston’s colleges - he wouldn’t say anything without just reason or warrant. </p>
