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.

Boston is a very historic city while being extremely developed.

Tips: The college and where it is located provides the perfect blend of history and modernity as Boston is a very historic city while being extremely developed as well. People in and out of college are friendly, and it won't take very long to adjust here. Weather is unpredictable and a little extreme.

Likes (Indian Food): In this college town, there are tons of Indian restaurants and grocery stores, so food isn’t an issue. I think you should cook for yourself to cut back on expenses, as it might get pricey to support yourself here. There are a lot of different options available, and I think the quality is quite good.

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.
