Lovely and fulfilling experience.

Tips: The weather has been the biggest change for me here and there is a lot of stuff that you will have to buy locally rather than from back home such as jackets, shoes, adapters, Instant Pot and more. Sometimes you can get discounted stuff at garage sales or from seniors who are moving out and wish to get rid of their stuff such as kitchenware or furniture. Academically, the university is pretty good and offers many courses and chances to experiment.

Strong academics and a vast college.

Tips: My programme at Boston University is quite vigorous and heavy and some of the assignments have given me sleepless nights. Professors here really emphasise research and clarity and a lot of your projects will also require the same energy. Jobs are not really easy to get any longer because of all the changes and BU is an expensive school so consider all your options.

Great university and helpful staffs.

Tips: The transition from life back home and here is quite prevalent. But I had an easy time adapting as the city is very student-friendly and welcoming, and the university takes measures to help you out with administrative stuff once you arrive. No part-time jobs off campus, and for on-campus opportunities, there are limited spots. Public transport is free, and my experience has been quite great so far.

Student-friendly and diverse.

Tips: This is a lively city and I've never seen a campus as spread out as Boston University. The best aspects include the safety, easily accessible transportation and the fact that the whole town is student friendly. However the cost of rent and living is quite expensive. You'll need to compensate by budgeting carefully in other areas. Also tuition is very high so be sure you've considered this carefully before coming here.

The city is friendly, with many universities and students, making it a great college town.

Tips: Boston was a city that instantly drew me in. The people are friendly, and the city is filled with many universities and students; making it a great college town basically. I've also managed to find a good balance studying here. Accommodation is expensive, but you can save a lot on travel by carpooling, and most of the public transport is free. You'll be expected to engage in your classes and advocate for yourself if there are projects you wish to be a part of.

Boston is a welcoming city with friendly people.

Tips: Boston has been a truly wonderful and welcoming city. My university campuses are spread out, and there will be a lot of walking, but there is a tube system as well, which is pretty much free. I can vouch for the safety and weather here, although employment is limited, and not a lot of my friends have found jobs.
