BU is so backwards.Quite BrightOther
BU is so backwards. The only thing they care about is your money, not the quality of your education. In the 2 1/2 years I was there, they raised tuition twice. I had professors that hardly spoke english. I had a class with no professor until 4 days before the class started, then she was not even a professor, not even a PHD student, she was a grad student, and in my opinion not qualified to teach a class. I was enrolled in a 6 week class for 4 weeks when they finally told me I would not be getting credit for the class, just because they didnt feel like giving me credit. I transferred and they only accepted 2 of my classes out of 7 as credit. STAY FAR AWAY FROM BU. THEY SUCK!

Question
The program at SMGQuite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
The program at SMG is very unique and underrated. By the time you are done, you will feel a strong sense of pride about what you've completed and know that you posess skills that few other students have developed.

Question
BU sucks. There really isn't a campus feelNot so brightBusiness - Management and Administration
BU sucks. There really isn't a campus feel to its urban setting and the dorms are really not the money I am having to fork out for them. I am in Warren towers and this place remind me of a prison. The visiting policy, on the other hand, makes this place feel like a convent.

I can't believe that BU charges more tuition than schools like Harvard and yet we are getting a sub par education here. All these hikes in fees and it is ranked 60 on the US News rankings. I know some people have issues with the US News rankings but even by its yardsticks, we are sliding down the ladder. The students here are quite nice but there are quite a number who are not exactly the brightest crayons in the box.
