Surveying BU Students Part 4: Pros & Cons and Advice

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

So the next question I ask people was just what are some general pros and cons of going to be you? A lot of the pros and cons of people were telling me things that I really have already mentioned in this video positives, really high quality academics, a really large student body, that it's so diverse and really helps develop your cultural competency and teach you so many new thanks. Another positive was just location of the school because we are right in this part of the city. So we have a lot of different options for restaurants, concert venues. There's so many activities that you can do that are so close to you. For negative things, Yes, view is a lot of hard work to be used. Walk from one class to another, and that is on a day to day basis. Sometimes another really common negative point that was brought up was just the fact that for the amount of money that we spent for you, it doesn't seem that a lot of that money is poured back into student life on our campus experience. Well, it definitely just seemed like the really expensive you tuition fuels the quality of our academics. We don't really see a lot of that money reflected the amount of money that you gives to student organizations for the amount of money that is poured into the quality of facilities at BU or the food. If you go right like a mile away to Northeastern University in Boston, which is a pretty comparable school, they have very similar tuition to us. This is something that I think a lot of be used to bond and have a lot of questions. Well, it is so great that a lot of you students do feel like our money is definitely fueling our education and the quality of that, you know, we really do kind of see a discrepancy between the our school in other schools around us with the qualities of our facilities and buildings. You know, the amount of money are clubs get, that's everything. It does kind of leave a lot of questions to be asked about. You know, am I getting truly what I'm paying for? And honestly, I don't have the answer to that question. What do you value most? What do you care about? I am pretty Southside with my education and experience that you and people like me. I do certainly think there could be improvements in ways that the really high tuition that we're paying could maybe be poured back into us a little bit better. As a trend, you're probably seeing through the video as a trend your colleagues seeing through this video. A lot of what does define be in a reputation at school, in the culture of our school is the quality and the strength of our academics, and that is really what sets us apart from other schools. I'm sure there are ways that maybe could be nice to meet a little bit more in the middle. Okay, so the final question, I asked people was just one. Some advice that you would give to your senior yourself who is looking at schools really stressing about your college application process. You know all of that stuff that you're experiencing right now if I could really sum up. Everyone said into one sentence, it really is just that it is going to be fine all through when you're growing up, and especially in high school in your senior year, there is so much emphasis placed on your undergrad education, and it creates so much stress. You do not have to worry as much as you are worrying, right? Honestly, if you don't get into her dream school, if you can't afford a certain school, If certain things just aren't lining up the way that you want them thio, it is going to find. I know it can be really weird to hear this, and I'm sure it conflicts with a lot of what you've been hearing about the college experience in the application process and all of that stuff thus far. You are going to make the best of any situation that you replaced in, no matter what school you're at, you are going to be able to rise to the occasion with the people you need to meet, achieve the goals of me to achieve all of that stuff down the line. You are going to be able to do it no matter where you are. I can't stress enough that you do not have to stress. Keep working hard, keep pushing and power through to the end of high school. I promise you, you can relax a little bit with all the students that I talked to, regardless of whether or not going to be you was their plan. Initially they all stared the same sentiment that everything has really worked out the way that it needed to whatever school you decide to go to. I think once you get there, you're going to realize none of this stress you're going through right now really mattered as much as you thought it would. Even if it is hard to trust to me saying that try your best to at least trusted a little bit. Let yourself be proud of yourself for the hard work you've done in the hard work.
