Good colleagues and environment.

Tips: I have seen changes in my mentality, in my problem-solving abilities and in the way I perceive things, which I can credit to the time I have spent here so far. It is a very student-friendly and accommodating city, and the campus is beyond extensive. Good classmates, and even though finding a job here is among the most difficult tasks yet, there have been situations where the hardworking has paid off. Rent is expensive, so you can cut costs by using public transport or cooking for yourself. The o...

The cost of living and tuition are a little higher as compared to other colleges.

Tips: BU is one of the most happening colleges in this part of Boston. There are all sorts of people and students, and diversity is plenty. However, the cost of living and tuition are a little higher than at other American universities. Do your own cooking instead of eating out most of the time to cut costs. If you are not a citizen, it can get tricky to find a job 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. Overall, I would recommend studying here for some programs.

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 c...

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 cam...

Boston is a very expensive city to live so be prepared to budget everything.

Tips: As someone who has always dreamed of working in politics or diplomacy, Boston University offers a very promising programme where you will be given exposure and learning that is hard to find elsewhere. The fellow students are very intellectual as well, and you will be pushed to prove yourself. The downside is that Boston is a very expensive city to live so be prepared to budget everything while you're here. My advisor has also been truly helpful throughout. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my e...

Boston is a student-friendly city but the course work can be very intense.

Tips: The best thing about Boston is how student-friendly the city is and how accommodating it is to diversity. There are a number of prominent universities in and around the city, and there’s a tram service throughout the city that’s practically free for students. I do wish the course loads were less intense at times, though. There have been weeks when I barely had time to do anything aside from my academics.
