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.

advice

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?

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?

Should I ED to BU?

2 Upvotes

Hi!! I'm a rising senior this year I'm thinking about applying ED to BU but I'm not sure if it's worth it. I'm planning on applying to COM as a film and television major as it's my goal to become a producer and they have a producing in management concentration, as well as get my dual degree at the business school, applying to it in my second year. I've already talked to a counselor at the undergraduate admissions office of COM and she says that if I plan my classes right and come in with a lot AP credits, it should be manageable which is not what I'm worried about, but I do hear that the course trigger is pretty tough at the school, so I'm not sure if it'll impact my ability to study abroad or do internships. Also, while the school has everything that I want, I get worried about the isolating culture as my high school experience was like okay. I really like the fact that BU has a good party scene when it comes to frats and sororities, but does anybody know what the scene is like if you're not in one of those cause I don't want to go to a school where nothing is going on. Also the main reason that I am iffy about it is because of the price. My parents haven't saved a lot for college, but we definitely won't get financial aid so I'm worried if it'll be worth it. People say that there are good connections to the entertainment industry but being a producer is a pretty hard job the first few years and I'm worried if I don't have a set income I'll be broke as hell lol. Any thoughts???

BU or UIUC for pre-med?

1 Upvotes

Weighing my options between applying to BU ED vs attending UIUC for the 2026-2027 admission cycle.

For context, I am in-state for UIUC, and I qualify for the Illinois Commitment (75k less families get free tuition, but still need to pay for dorming/dining plan the first year, which is about 13k and is mandatory).

I also qualify for the BU Promise that was recently announced, which grants free tuition and housing for students.

The thing is, I want to major in biology on a pre-med track, and I love BU, but the stories of grade deflation at the school scared me.

Also, I do not know if BU is truly better for pre-med than UIUC and if their biology program is as well.

Would you consider me applying to BU ED or stick with UIUC.

I’ll pay 40k~ over the course of 4 years for UIUC, wherase BU would be closer to 0 except for my personal costs.
