BU FAQs

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

I'm a rising junior at Boston University, and today I'm going to answer all of your frequently asked questions about going to be you. I'm going to dress for main topics food, housing, athletics and the social scene. At the benefit of going to a big school like you is that with a big school, you get a lot more options for food. BU has three main dining halls that are open all day and all night, and then two smaller dining halls with more limited hours. I actually transferred from another college, and I visited a lot of my friends at their colleges, and something I've noticed is that for the most part, all college food is kind of the same, so you don't really have to worry too much about it. Sure, there are differences from school of school, but honestly, it is pretty similar across the board. You aren't going to get anything super amazing or super terrible, regardless of what school you go to, so you don't really have to worry too much about it rather than food quality. I maybe try looking into the types of food options that schools make available. Because while the quality does remain pretty consistent across every school, something that really does change is the amount of, you know, vegan options, vegetarian options, gluten free options. BU actually does a really good job at a common eating that, and they're very diligent about listing all the ingredients. You know, all the calorie counts and that sort of thing, and it's pretty great. Okay, so for housing, BU has so, so so many options. I can't really describe to you how many officers they have. Like you really just have to kind of go to the city of Boston and see just how many buildings have a little like Red Square on the front of them that says, like owned by Boston University, because be, who has bottle? Like probably 1/4 of the city? It's crazy for you. How's traditional dorms? Sweet style dorms like semi apartments and then, like, full on off campus departments, so many different housing options. You know, I really do think you can find whatever you need, what's ever in like your price point. You're not really limited to one thing, which actually is pretty good thing because of how many options there are at view for housing. You don't really have to stress that much about it when trying to decide whether or not he used the right school for you. Another great thing about the use housing is that they're one of the only schools of this size that guarantee your housing all four years. Most colleges kick you off campus after, like, two or three years and make you have to go find your own apartment in your own place. College athletics are really important to some people because you know, they really like that feeling of school spirit in school pride and, you know, rallying in support of their team. The only sport that I would say the school really does, like, come together fully. Hockey is just really where it's at for a school. If you're really looking for, like, a sporty school with, you know, football team, a lot of school pride and that sort of thing bu maybe isn't the place for you. Now, this is a topic that I'm sure you have a lot of questions about, but I know you're not gonna be able to find any information about on abuse website, so I'm happy to address it here. If they just mentioned, you know, we don't have too much like school spirit like rah rah rah like that sort of like sporty school of I've. So there isn't too much, you know, letting loose during the week on week days, like you might see it. Some other schools there aren't really like parties in the dorms and like that sort of thing, not being said like there are still parties. I guess people are really working hard constantly through the week and then, you know, we do reward ourselves on the weekend when it comes to, you know, have a little fun. You know, I think people are still very conscious and, you know, celebrating within their means, because they're really trying to keep in mind responsibilities that they have. You know, the next day, the next morning, that sort of thing. So it doesn't really get too wild or too crazy. If you're someone who if you're someone who likes that sort of thing, you know, you can always go to, uh, neighboring schools that are maybe a little bit more wild than be, you know, kind of maybe get involved in their night life. If you're someone who's like, really not about that, it's kind of great because you don't know a lot of like the parties and things. So if you just wanna spend like a night and that's quiet just studying, like to yourself, you are gonna be distracted, disrupted, So that's great, too. I think it is really like a healthy balance, like if you do, if you do want to go out and party and, like, do stuff like that, You'll their options for you. I think everyone is kind of pretty responsible about it, because again, as a school as a student body were pretty unified in the amount of like, I guess, just academic focus and like the positive work I think that we have. So I think whenever anyone goes out, no, no one is really, like letting to lose going crazy, being too dangerous or anything. Because, you know, we're all keeping in mind that probably the next day we do have, like, a lot of work that we still have to do.
