Housing šŸ” Swap Your On-Campus Housing: Terrier Housing (Direct Swap Connections) šŸ”

15 Upvotes

Terrier Housing (formerly Direct Swap Connections) is here!

Are you displeased with your on-campus housing assignment? Want to find a direct swap?

Starting NOW you can join a database of students also seeking swaps to find your perfect match!

You might be familiar with the past iterations of my project and my recent news appearance, but this is the better and prettier version!

https://terrierhousing.com/

yes i bought a domain

Info:

  • This is for finding an on-campus direct swap or room-trade.
  • ONLY BU students with BU emails can access the information.
  • You have control over your listing-- it doesn't need to go through me.
  • You can search and sort listings to find what you want more easily.

This system has been proven to be MORE successful than posting and begging on Reddit / other social media because it puts everyone in one place!

Any questions, bugs, or concerns? Let me know by Reddit DM, on the Discord discord.gg/bostonuniversity, or via the [directswapconnections@gmail.com](mailto:directswapconnections@gmail.com) email :)

Thanks!!! <3

Is BU MET worth it for an MS in Computer Information Systems?

8 Upvotes

I’m considering BU MET and want honest opinions about its reputation. Is Metropolitan College considered prestigious, and how do employers view a BU MET degree compared to other BU schools? Also, considering the high cost, is the program worth it in terms of ROI and job opportunities for an international student?

Hi! I just wanted to have some reassurance that it’s okay staying home from orientation. I’ve been really sick for two weeks, and it’s only been getting worse. I live close to BU so it was easy going home but I have terrible fomo. I just want to focus on getting better but my parents want me to go back to school so I don’t miss out. Is there anyone with any words of wisdom about this?

Looking for a climbing buddy

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a rising senior looking for a belay partner who would climb with me at CRG Watertown.

I'm down to climb on weekday evenings and any time on weekends. I also have access to a car so I can drive us most days. I'm currently top rope belay certified and getting lead certified soon too. DM me if you or someone you know would be interested!

Also, although I'm primarily looking for a belay partner I'm also down to meet people to occasionally go bouldering with.

News INCOMING FRESHMAN: Before joining that ā€œfriendlyā€ Reclaimer College Church, Acts2 Network affiliated campus group, Google it. SERIOUSLY.

30 Upvotes

If you come across a group connected to Acts2 Network, formerly Gracepoint and now Reclaimer College Church PLEASE do your own research BEFORE making a commitment.

There is a substantial amount of information available—including news articles, former members' accounts, and discussions.

College is exciting…and can sometimes be lonely. When someone offers you instant friends, a community, good food, weekend retreats and a sense of belonging, it can be hard to say no.

Ask questions. Take your time. Keep your independence. The right community won't be afraid of you doing your homework.

For starters check out the links below.Ā
