Lucky for you, you have the chance to meet Warby Parker co-founder Neil Blumenthal, who will be speaking at Boston […]

An Open Letter to the Boston Globe

Dear Boston Globe, Recently, you released your sixth annual list of the “25 Most Stylish Bostonians,” and, for the sixth year in a row, you have made a grave oversight. While I can’t argue with many of the people on your list, I am rather affronted that you chose to include, say, Bruins right wing […]

What Do You Love?

Hey Terriers, Recently, our office has been talking a lot about what makes BU students tick. What’s your passion, what fuels you day to day?

The Facts: Partying in Allston

Hey Terriers, Let’s reel things in a minute and get honest about BU’s nightlife. Students, whether above or below the legal drinking age, know where to go if they want to take part in some not-so-legal partying. I’m not saying everyone does it, because there are many students who prefer other activities, but if you’re […]

Passion for the People

Hey BU! So, how exactly does a school of over 4,500 students form a community? Passion. Our own Dean of Students, Dean Elmore, most prominently embodies this passion. Not only is his eagerness to connect with students, faculty and staff beyond commendable, it is genuine. This honest ambition to connect with students and create community […]

Still haven’t figured out how to spend your precious spare time?

Hi BU! It’s so awesome to see so many people back on campus – we’d been kind of lonely all summer. Hope everyone is settling in – I myself have not slept through my alarm once so far this semester! (Not to jinx it or anything…) If you’re a freshman, you’ve probably been to Splash! […]

A Taste of the VMA’s at BU

Hey there, Terriers! Miss me? I know you did. But no worries because I’m back in the office and full of knowledge you’re all dying to know about. First, the new website IS COMING. We apologize for the delay, but check our twitter for the latest updates as we launch the new face of FYI. […]

Book it?

So, as the lazy, hazy days of August hit that almost-school stretch, I’ve been grabbing every moment of down time I possibly can – and for me, that means reading. With the weather being as nice as it is, I’ve been doing most of my page-turning outside. Here are my top three favorite spots around […]
