\"\"<\/a>Hello everyone! Hope these last few weeks of the semester are going well. Hard to believe we\u2019re almost done with the fall semester. I hope your classes have been going great and you\u2019re adjusting to the COM life flawlessly. In my opinion, the most important part of this lifestyle is being ridiculously fluent in social media. So to help you guys along, I decided to make you a short \u201cMust-Follow\u201d list of BU-related Twitter handles. You should already be following @comugrad, @DeanSaboSays, @COM_Ambassadors, and me of course, @danyvasquez_. So who\u2019s next?<\/p>\n

@BU_Tweets<\/p>\n

Self-explanatory. Whether you want to brag about how great BU is, get the word out about an event, or just give a shout-out, you definitely want to be following this Twitter. They give updates when things are happening on campus, re-tweet student groups, and even ask you some fun questions every now and then.<\/p>\n

@BUDiningService<\/p>\n

Probably the most popular BU Twitter. Speaking from a PR student perspective, they are a great example of how to use social media to improve customer service and satisfaction. They are extremely responsive and up-to-date with everything going on. As an example, my friend and I went to Rize Late Night a few weeks back and had a terrible experience. We waited over an hour for fondue and when it finally came, it was basically a layer of oil with a murky chocolate base. We tweeted a picture of it to BU Dining Services and got a response within seconds. They apologized, talked to the manager, and invited us back for dinner on them. So, even if their many constant tweets get annoying sometimes, it\u2019s definitely worth it to follow and interact with them.<\/p>\n

@theGSU<\/p>\n

Named Activities Info, this Twitter is like the GSU Link. It knows everything about every student event going on throughout campus. Whatever organization you\u2019re involved with, you\u2019ll definitely want to make sure you follow them and they follow you! It\u2019s a great way to spread the word about events or meetings. They re-tweet student groups, give shout-outs, and keep you updated. So no matter what you\u2019re involved with, make sure you follow them so everyone at BU knows it too.<\/p>\n

@DeanElmore<\/p>\n

Our very own Dean of Students is super active on social media. Whether it\u2019s cheering on our Terriers at a hockey game or Instagramming the first snow of the year, you can bet he\u2019ll be tweeting about it non-stop. He also shares really interesting articles or information about a variety of subjects. Sometimes, he\u2019ll even tweet back at students and join in conversations. A lot of student groups use him to help spread the word about events or even invite him to come!<\/p>\n

@BUAthletics<\/p>\n

Again, pretty self-explanatory. Whether you\u2019re following hockey, basketball, soccer, baseball, golf, rowing, or any other sport, this Twitter\u2019s got you covered. They\u2019ll tweet about score updates, game times and any changes, shout-outs to exemplary student athletes, and just general BU pride. There\u2019s no better way to keep up with the Terriers.<\/p>\n

BU is an extremely social media oriented university. It\u2019s one of the things I love the most about it. This is only a glimpse of all the BU-related Twitters out there. There\u2019s hundreds when you consider all the amazing student groups, and thousands when you consider all the individual students, faculty, and alumni. It\u2019s an incredible network and as a COM student, it\u2019s the best way to hone those skills and always stay up to dated with everything going on. This list skims the surface. It\u2019s up to you now to dive in.<\/p>\n
