<p>Hello future BU students…or confused accepted students still hanging about in college limbo.</p>
<p>I am a current BU student and part of the Class of 2017. I applied and was accepted last year as an RD applicant. I just want to say, I couldn’t be more happy with how my life turned out. The college process is the most stressful rite of passage in your highschool career, but it’s over. You made it.</p>
<p>I’m a freshman in the School of Management, although I have contacts in almost every college, so I’ll be sure to get input from a myriad of sources. I’ll try to get back to you in a timely fashion, although I am working on college time…</p>
<p>Congratulations to those accepted- you have proven that you are a worthy applicant. Just look at your class stats. Many of the colleges- including Management and Sergeant- have acceptance rates lower than 20 percent and with SATs in the 2100s. Welcome to BU.</p>
<p>@Anderr123 Com is a fantastic college. It’s highly rated and also it is the oldest public relations school in the United States. It’s also the alma mater of Bill O’Reilly and Howard Stern (if you’re proud of that). It seems like every year we get someone new and important joining the faculty. David Carr from the NY Times came to BU this year along with a slew of other people. </p>
<p>The only downside (or upside) is that you have a smaller schedule than most other schools here. You typically can get shi** at a social gathering for having only a few classes per day - of course, it’s all in good fun. Some kid on my floor stacked all of his classes onto three days, so he has a four day weekend every week… Of course, the other days are just hell 8 to 6, but there’s great leniency in making your schedule.</p>
<p>As for the experience- the COM program is a great time. You’re building is probably the second best because you have a sweet lawn to chill on during the summer months. Plus, it’s right next to Warren so you can roll out of bed 3 minutes before class (*Not saying this is the best idea).</p>
<p>Not to mention the BU radio station, TV station (which we get on our cable here), and other programs help build your resume. You also have the ability to find work in Boston and people love BU COM for internships. My good friend is studying journalism and recently got an internship this summer for the Boston Globe.</p>
<p>Like all schools here, the atmosphere is very academic. Some of the smartest people I know here are in COM programs. While it’s all good fun, prepare to work.</p>
