What impressed you positively?

BU has a lot of international affiliations, you can go away to other countries during your fourth year, you can learn languages while there, e.g Spanish and go to a spanish camp during the summer. I liked the fact that you start to get clinical exposure from the first year. you get a chance to shadow in the speciality you are interested in thus could decide if you really hate it or love it. I also think this prepares you for residency.

What impressed you negatively?

the Cost!!! Goodness, I have never seen a more expensive place. I don't even think NYC is this bad. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING is expensive! including food!!! Also I felt pretty good about the interview and love to go there despite the cost but at the end, the dean now says they interview 950 students for 100 places! what happens to the other 850! I hated that, it made me nervous

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how small Boston is and that it was not just housing that was expensive but food too

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I think the pep talk from the dean of admissions at the beginning was impressive. The history of the school is outstanding. Residency Placement is also very impressive. Lunch was good. My interviewer and I hit it off and we just sort of chatted away. I was relaxed with him and not stressed at all
