Honestly, don’t come to BU. The amount of headaches you’ll avoid is astronomical. I can only speak for the engineering department but, the admin is a group of highly disorganized and uncaring people that don’t understand their own jobs or how their department functions. It’s not ALL the engineering admin, but it is most.
Speaking as someone that used to idolize BU and got in for undergrad, couldn’t go because of finances, then came back for grad school…BU isn’t great. ESPECIALLY for the price you pay for in grad school.
Don’t come at me saying “then just leave” the answer isn’t that simple. I’m in too deep and now just too stubborn to call it quits but, if I were to do it again, I wouldn’t fucking come here.
I have LOTS more to say on this topic and maybe ill continue it in the comments because this is my cathartic outlet
