This school sucks balls.Quite BrightMechanical Engineering
This school sucks balls. They razzle and dazzle you as a prospective frosh, then when you get here you realize it was a whole load of crap, the students are as dumb and unintellectual as the profs, and the housing has to be the worst in the country.

Question
BU sucks.BrightOther
BU sucks...DO NOT GO HERE...i know of maybe one person who actually likes BU, and they dont even like it that much. i transferred and i am SO much happier at my new college. it's much better to be a PERSON in your college than a dollar sign. trust me. dorms are SHITTY as hell, people try and claim they are "larger and better" than surrounding college dorms, they are horribly mistaken. and the guest policy is a joke. if you want to feel like you are a 15 year old in boarding school, and have no adult respect, maybe you should go here. but if you want to have a school where you have limited guest passes, cannot have overnight guests of the opposite sex without a huge pile of paperwork 5 days before...than sure, check out BU. other than that--the classes suck, the profs dont speak english and will not help you, the dorms are shit, and altho i know a lot of cool people that went there with me, they all transferred and there are more snobs than anything else....but hey--the hospitality profs are actually wonderful!

Question
This school is all about money.Engineering Department
This school is all about money. The concern of the student's well-being has been put on hold for the pursuit of money, thoughtless spending and appeasing for more tuition money. I have suffered through a cold atmosphere of cookie cutter consumerism and racist attitudes for too long. I despise the way things are being funded. It's just a big mess. John Silber is a true American hero. Him as president, things would be a lot better. Or at least consistent. At least these past years , there'd been one instead of 4 presidents. The campus is cold and not diverse enough. Moraleis high in a "brain washed, kiss the white people's rear ends kind of way".
