What impressed you positively?

"Boston is an amazing city!!! I think I would love to live there. The facilities seemed comparable to every other school I've visited, no big surprize there. My interviewer was a great guy, he kept coming up with all these hypothetical situations. Dr. Witzburg is a awesome guy too, I can't leave him out." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The other interviewers. They weren't nearly as friendly as people I'd met on previous interviews. This was probably due to the fact there were about 30 of us!!! If you ask me, that's way too many to interview on one day. The cost of living in Boston is also a major drawback. The tuition is understandable, but housing is ridiculous. Alas, that's not the schools fault." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Nothing really." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Overall I really liked BU. The people were friendly (with the possible exception of a certain secretary), and the area made me feel comfortable. I didn't realize it would be difficult to own a car in Boston since parking is so bad, but I can live without a car. From what I heard, public transportation is pretty good too. I guess I'll know in March whether I'll be going to BU or not. " Report Response
