Acceptance letters were mailed out last week, and I just wanted to say congratulations to all those future Terriers! You are one step closer to an amazing college experience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For those of you still deciding if BU is the right school for you, here are some elements that helped me choose BU. Hopefully it helps with your decision!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The city of Boston.<\/span> So many opportunities, a great city with so much to do and a hub of diverse people I would have never met living anywhere else. With the city being a quick T ride inbound, there\u2019s never a dull moment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. BU campus is the perfect balance of living in a city and living in a suburb. <\/span>With East campus being so close to the city, and West campus being in a more residential area, there is a place to call home for everyone. Not to mention the walk between areas of campus is good exercise. But for those who don\u2019t like walking \u2013 don\u2019t worry. There is a free BU bus that rides around campus, and the Green Line and multiple city bus routes run through campus.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. It\u2019s so easy to find your niche.<\/span> Whether you\u2019re an athlete, an artist, an academic or a mixture of all three \u2013 it\u2019s easy to find people you connect with. Everyone at BU is friendly and come from a variety of backgrounds. It\u2019s easy to make friends with people from all walks of life and having diverse friend groups is a great perk of going to a university with a widely diverse community.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. BU\u2019s top-notch facilities<\/span>: From three dining halls, over ten dorm options, a state of the art Fitness and Recreation Center and a massive library, BU\u2019s facilities are impressive to say the least. All of the buildings are in great shape and offer a plethora of resources to all students.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. <\/span> I fell in love with BU the moment I toured COM. It\u2019s so easy to get involved, everyone was so welcoming and I knew attending COM would push me to be the best possible form of myself. In my first month of college I joined BUTV10, WTBU, and the Daily Free Press. COM is what you make of it, and I highly suggest participating in COM to the fullest.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            I hope you fall in love with BU like I did. I promise it will be the best four years of your life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
