"I believe that a degree from Boston University will serve as an essential qualification in any student's toolbox of skills and experiences, distinguishing students from others in any field. With a Boston University degree, students have many career opportunities at many ethically sound companies around the. Students will be able makes a global impact on the world. Boston University sets itself apart from the rest not only through the simplicity of the campus (it spans over Commonwealth Avenue), but also the caliber of academics. This trait is prevalent amongst all the professors as they are thorough with course materials, but even more so when interacting with students outside the classroom (especially with office hours). Professors care about student success and it is paramount for the overall success that is found at BU. The diversity of the student body and their unique cultural perspectives will enrich any students learning as much as the coursework; it is an opportunity exclusive to BU. In addition to the diversity of Questroms student body, there are vast opportunities to become immersed in the exciting options for majors, classes, case studies, entrepreneurial school spirit, international seminars, and student organizations that are available to all students. Team projects and capstones are some of the most impactful experiences a student can have during their time at Boston University. The school takes pride in allowing students to build long-lasting relationships with people from all over the world. The many amazing programs at Boston University provide students with useful resources, beautiful facilities, and extremely qualified faculty."

"Boston University's School Counseling Master's program provides a small, tight-knit cohort that you attend most of your classes with. The instructors are very accessible and want to make sure you're getting the most out of the program. Overall satisfied with my experience so far."

"I am a part of the Part-Time Evening MBA program at Questrom School of Business at BU. The program has its ups and downs. In particular, professors come from a mix of academia and private industry. This can be hit and miss. Sometimes you have a professor with an unbelievable resume who has excellent advice and examples while relating the material to you; other times you have a professor who may not be very well-suited to teaching. The major benefits of the program come from your classmates, the networking opportunities, and the career center. In a half hour with a consultant at the career center, I learned more about job hunting and resume design than I had in twenty-four years of life. Additionally, you will have countless opportunities to attend events at school throughout the semester where you can meet a lot of guest speakers as well as other students. Those students are a tremendous resource to you, and you will have a lot of chances to spend time with them as social life at Questrom is well respected. Overall, I have greatly increased my utility at work due to what I learned in class. I have changed companies since joining the program and have advanced my career thanks to the advice I received from the Career Center. I would recommend BU to anyone interested in a business degree."

"Boston University is a great school with a rigorous Biology curriculum. The downside is that the university is expensive with increasing tuition each year and no increase in financial aid. There is also not much diversity or support for multicultural students."

"Boston University, is one of the best. This is the best school, with perhaps the best professors in the US. I have completed Master degree of Criminal Justice, and this institution requires to keep your GPA:3.00 or higher, or else you would be kicked out of a program. I think this is the best university for the best students. Minimum requirement GPA: 3.00 and two years of time, if you are committed, you will do it, and you can do it, just as i did. I strongly recommend those who want reputable university ( top 100 the best world universities), and achieve great academic success."
