As an incoming graduate student at Boston University, one of the major steps that you will take will be finding a place to live. There are a number of options in terms of neighborhood, housing type, cost, roommates, etc. that will play a factor in your decision, but the best thing you can do is [...]

A Boston Spring
April 26, 2013 at 11:15 am
Spring is here! You can smell it in the air as flowers bloom and grills are finally uncovered. Boston’s springs are just as good as its falls in terms of atmosphere, things to do, and beauty. Like bears, we awake from our winter nap (or, more accurately, grumpy slump) to eat, play and relax in [...]
Choosing classes at BU!
April 24, 2013 at 11:48 am
So you’re newly accepted and anxiously waiting for September to start your adventure as a BU COM grad right? I thought so. You just want to skip right over summer and be here already. We know the feeling. You may be wondering what classes you need to take and how to go about figuring [...]
Hooray, It’s LA!

Here in the MFA section of Film and Television at Boston University, we get really hyped up about something most people our age find absolutely detestable as a conversational centerpiece–the future. A case could be made that we’re all just too engrossed in our own work, but the solution may be more ridiculous: it’s our [...]
The Reason I Chose BU
March 5, 2013 at 11:20 am
My path to BU was a little different then my fellow bloggers. Firstly, BU was not my first choice. I had eyes for only one school – NYU. It was what drove me to apply to graduate school in the first place – I wanted to be a New York City gal. However, a friend [...]
Making The Final Decision
March 4, 2013 at 10:46 am
Choosing a graduate school is, unsurprisingly, very different from selecting your undergraduate institution. For one thing, your priorities are different. You’re much older, and with advanced age comes new, specific goals that you have honed over the course of your previous four (five…six?) years. Therefore, it is important to make sure that when deciding what [...]
The Name of the Game
March 4, 2013 at 10:00 am
Suddenly, it’s two years ago. I’m looking at graduate school, and I’m asking myself the big questions. I won’t lie to you–when it came to my decision to apply to Boston University–I only had one thing in mind. Success. I searched for the top ten graduate schools for screenwriting and ran down the list. I [...]
Why I Choose BU
March 1, 2013 at 12:23 pm
BU separated themselves by being personable from the very beginning. When I was searching for journalism graduate programs, I sent out a handful of emails requesting information about the schools, the application process, and any other details that I may need to know. For the most part the schools I contacted replied back, but only [...]
Why BU COM?
February 27, 2013 at 1:19 pm
I pretty much knew I was going to BU the moment I got the acceptance email. As someone who is interested in public relations, it was difficult to find many programs that actually offered it as a course of study. Boston University was among the few – and the only one I applied to that [...]
Relax and Lose Yourself
February 7, 2013 at 3:30 pm
It’s over. The deadline has come and gone. You’re done. You have handed in everything they have asked for. Now you can finally sit back and relax. Or can you? I remember how I felt the day I finally handed in all my application materials. There was a sigh of relief and a fleeting feeling [...]
