Great academics and interactive classes.
Tips: I have liked the sense of security, the warmth of people, the class structures and the weather. What proves to be a challenge is the job market and the immigration policies, which limit all sorts of chances to actually work there. Always remember to scan your receipts, get Apple Pay and use your student discounts.

It has been an empowering and overwhelming expereince.
Tips: I didn't expect the course loads to be as intense as they have been, but then again, if I'm studying psychology, it's important to be thorough. That is something that the professors at Boston University really do emphasise. Moreover, I feel like the program has been a good balance of theory and practical experience, which has really enhanced my learning. I think this is a great place to study.
Likes (Safety): Boston is filled with universities and people, so there is plenty of police force both in and around campus to ensure maximum safety. In fact, the crime rate is also lower than in other American cities, and people watch out for one another here as well.

BU's campus is spread out throughout the city making it very well known.
Tips: So coming from a smaller town studying at Boston University was a truly special experience. BU's campus is spread out throughout the city as there are multiple buildings and schools under BU all across the city making it very well known throughout. You're not allowed to work outside of campus but if you are proactive and involved enough you can get roles as teaching assistants and in research.

Highly engaging campus life.
Tips: The campus is extremely welcoming and engaging with a lot of activities to involve yourself in. The weather is much colder than I had anticipated and it is important to prepare according. The faculty are highly qualified and are experts in their field. To look for academic assistance, you can enroll in the ISSP or the International Students Success programme which is run by international students as well as professionals. There are many student communities to help us. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course, college and the university.

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.

Beautiful but cold city.
Tips: Boston university must be one of the most well-known and widespread campuses in the entirety of Boston. It is divided into multiple different schools such as Questrom, the business school. Your safety is assured as well as there are many campus cops and patrols. Strike a good rapport with your professors as each good referral will take you a long way.
