“Don’t think so. I see plenty students from our local high school go to BU - mostly due to the desire for a big urban school - they are usually NOT intellectual types.
Depends on if you want city or small college town. Not sure why Pat says PSU is not part of the conversation - we know some kids majoring in math who are happy and doing quite well. No PSU is not for everyone but it has a beautiful campus - and you can avoid the drunken frat element (true at many schools). Go where it feels right or it makes the most economic sense. All are very good choices. Good luck.”

Almost everyone from my school (well, nearly 50%) goes to Penn State (yearly). It isnt even close. Sure, a good amount are smarter kids, but overall, not at all. Maybe you’ve seen it differently from your school, but from people I know, BU has a much more intellectual presence.
