anyone think BU will release second wave tomorrow?

I’m really on edge about transferring and need some advice. I’ve been here for a year and a half and feel that the school is too big, not very community oriented, and too fast paced for me. I’ve become super depressed being here but I’m not sure how much is the school and how much is me. However, I would be leaving behind the opportunities I’ve had and the few friends I made and starting over. Recently when I have a good day or see Bay State, I start to question if I truly want to transfer, also maybe because the weather has improved. Has anyone transferred and had it go well?

I was recently admitted for Physics but I was not given any aid and I've emailed multiple times to see if there was anything i can do to help my tuition costs but I was told no. The only option is to go somewhere else and reapply in a year which is not optimal and I'm scared I won't get readmitted. Is there any last minute ways that would decrease my tuition or is a lost cause. I can't appeal my FAFSA.

hello! i got a guest ticket for a friend who just let me know she can no longer make it.

i won’t up charge insanely, i know some people rly tried to get tickets, it was indeed a battle….

It’s in section 113 closer to the front!! let me know if you’re interested.

Hello friends,

I have an assignment for one of my classes where I need to interview an older adult (someone aged 65+) and ask about their life experiences, ageism they may have experienced, etc.

I don’t know anyone who I can interview, so I was wondering if anyone knows who can help me out with this. Interview should last no more than 30-45 minutes. Thanks!!

Guys since the semester ends soon, has anybody thinking to do any startup? I’m so bored and just wanna do something new besides the internship.

Ive seen like 5 posts where people are reselling their guest ticket because their "friend is no longer interested". Really? They lost interest within 12 hours of ticket sales?

I would understand if you're reselling the guest ticket at same price when it was released. But noooo you guys are selling for 60 and 75 dollars. You bought guest tickets without an actual guest and are now reselling them at a markup to make a profit. Fuck you guys. All scalpers are scum of the earth.

Genuinely this school makes me so mad. Someone riddle me why I am paying the same housing rate in a warren QUAD as someone in a double. It is impossible to sleep every night I don't understand how this school can make young adults live for a year in the same conditions as a YMCA sleep away camp. for about 9k a year.

Hi! not super familiar with ticket master, when i bought my tickets it said at the top we couldnt transfer tickets, but i see people selling them...? how does that work?

not a scalper (ick), my friends and i just got seats far apart and are trying to figure out ways we could sit together 😭. If we're all in the top sections, could we talk to the people around us and see if theyd be open to swapping seats? or is there people at each section checking tickets?

any insight appreciated, thank you!

Why MBTA? WHY?

I got into Boston university with no financial aid for a linguistics major (probably going to change it) in the college of arts and sciences, but the total cost would be around 98k a year. Im out of state.

I also just got off the waitlist for scu and they’re offering me 20k per year as a grant. Im in state and the cost would probably be around 50-60k. Im going to be a psychology major there.

Which one should I pick? I really really like bu because it’s the best school I got into, but it’s also a big change and I don’t know how well it would be for my mental health to be across the country from my home

title. accepted to LAS, leaning towards econ/data science, want to get a good job post grad. hoping to connect with good ppl asw.

I’ll be a full-pay incoming freshman to BU this fall but the cost of tuition is not necessarily an issue. I’m weighing my options with in-state colleges and I’m learning that intro classes are overcrowded and services to students are understaffed. So my question to other BU students is how does it feel attending BU considering its large student body? Is it overcrowded and anonymous? Or feels like a privately and well-run institution worth its price? Please be as specific as possible. Ty!

I am distraught. I waited 3 hours in line plus was in the line at 4000 an hour before the tickets were released and dint get anything. The tickets say sold out when I got in. I’m also a senior so I was really looking forward to completing my senior year with a bang. Soooooo upset. Don’t even think they should have allowed for students to buy tickets to outside.

I know it’s a long shot but if anyone wants to swap their Floor 1 for Floor 2 Zara Larssn tickets please let me know! All my friends got floor 1 and I’d really like to go with them.

This has probably been asked a million times but i can't find anything on this in recent years. I got into BU as a sophomore transfer for biology, and i'm on a pre-med/pre-health track and I'm considering going, but i've heard getting an A/A- in STEM classes at BU is a lot harder compared to other schools.

Hoping current STEM/pre-med students at BU can share what their experience has been with this. At my current school I've been able to get A's in all of my classes with like 2-4 hours of studying in total per day (which I truly don't know if that's a lot or not for a premed). Is it not realistic to get mostly A's at BU with those same study habits?

The suspense is killing me! Especially because somebody said that they are going to be releasing decisions sporadically. So we have no idea when the next wave will come out.😭

If anybody does know.... please enlighten us 🥺

This is your reminder to NOT fall for ticket scammers and to take precautions!

DO NOT GET SCAMMED PLEASE

Going to grad school this year and thinking about renting a specific place on the Green line (D). Looks like it’s most likely going to be between 20-25 minute commute one way. Pricing seems hard to beat though and looks like it’s in a cute neighborhood. Anyone have a similar commute and have any thoughts or suggestions?
