Ahh yes, fall semester\u2026 Coming back to BU, reuniting with friends, the changing leaves, and study abroad acceptances. The first two months of fall semester is filled with abroad acceptances followed by a funny one-liner. In COM, Junior year is definitely the most popular time to study abroad, followed by the popular second semester Senior year trip to LA. The COM specific programs are LA, DC, London, Sydney, and Dublin. Next semester I\u2019m jetting off to London (with fellow CAs Sam and Alex) on the Advertising Internship track! My CA Steph, along with CAs Hannah, Joe, and Esra, are giving me the lowdown on all things London! I\u2019m so excited to go and already have a working list of all the places I want to visit! The number one thing I\u2019ve heard about study abroad is that LONDON IS EXPENSIVE!! So here are some awesome things to help you save money (whether you\u2019re going abroad or not) on AND off-campus!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Campus:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. A Night at the Theatre:<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know that all of the School of Theatre shows in CFA are free AND open to BU students? This weekend I\u2019m going to see my friend Hannah in the Femina Shakes production of Hamlet (https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/867448430023839\/<\/a>)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus a perk to being non-CFA is that you get first choice seats \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. A Comedy Tonight!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have so many comedy groups on campus! There\u2019s Liquid Fun (feat. CAs Zach and Jimmy), The Callbacks, and Slow Kids at Play!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Liquid Fun has a FREE show THIS Friday at 7:30 pm in BU Central (https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1795966667349804\/<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Music to My Ears\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So we all know that WTBU is our on-campus radio station that you can listen to 20 hours a day every day, BUT did you know that WTBU also hosts live shows? Come to BU Central on Thursday, November 3rd for the station\u2019s first live show of the semester featuring Aurora Birch, Covey, and the Novel Ideas (Acoustic Set).
