Boston University Reviews & Ratings ,,USA

Tips: The city and the school are a bit expensive, and I would suggest that students have a clear or at least a vague idea of what they want to do.

Tips: Students should know that this course gives you a glimpse of the corporate culture here and the outline of all management courses. I can pursue it just to have some international experience.

Tips: Students should know that there are scholarships, but mostly given to first-intake students. It's an expensive city but with a lot of diversity.

BU is big on ice hockey, so if you are a true terrier, you have to watch all those games.

Tips: Students should know that the community here is pretty inclusive, but being an international student can make you feel homesick.

There are a number of on-campus options and part-time opportunities such as research, tutoring, and on-campus stores among more. The professors are open and kind enough to help us out with doubts or questions. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Tips: Transitioning here can initially be a little daunting as it's a new country and you will need to adjust to a lot of changes in personal as well as academic life. What makes it easier is that people in the town, as well as the University, are really nice and helpful throughout, you have to be prepared to give time to your academics as well as some time to exploring the city and learning new things.
