ahhhhhhh

<p>So I was pretty sure I wanted to transfer to BU, but stupid me had never visited the campus. Well, when I first got there I loved everything I saw, although today was a pretty cold day. The only prolbem is that they are not offering me on-campus housing, and a few forms said that I shoudl contact the "Office of Off-Campus Housing" and they would assist me. So I go there, and two undergraduates are working and offer me no help, and are almost rude. I understand it's pretty unheard of there to live off-campus, but I talked to another student who siad that there is a good chunk of students who do. Anyway, all the two undergrads showed me was how to look up apartments online at Craig's list, and told me the name of a neighborhood or two close to BU. I asked if they had the names of other transfer students looking for roommates and they said they had no idea. The students were rather cold to me and treated me like I was some kind of alien and like they didn't care. They found two postings of grad studnets looking for housing who were pre-med, but I'm undergrad philosophy and math major, and I just don't think it would work. </p>

<p>Anyway, I left there and tried to go to the office of on-campus housing. No one seemed to want to help me there either, and they just told me they didnt have any housing, the name of two neighborhoods close by, and then pretty much looked like they wanted me to leave. </p>

<p>It's been such a crazy semester of transferring, and finding a place that I like, and BU sounds nice until today... the cold gave me a horrible headache after walking around campus for 5 hours, and then when I finally returned again to the office of offcampus housing they said that two more transfers had called in and that tehy were making a list online, but that was the only help they seemed to give me. I feel like since these two students had obviously never owned an apartment, I knew more about finding housing than they did. </p>

<p>Anyway, the entire time I NevEr saw a BU administrator or an adult (someone over the age of 25) who was willing to help, and the students were so cold like I didnt' matter because I was a transfer. Is this a reason for me to not go here? I'm in big trouble if I decide not to. :( Thanks for listening .. this has been a horrible day</p>

<p>As a side note, I'd just like to say that I did search around campus buildings and such for people looking for sublets or roommates and had no luck. Are there no bulletin boards at BU? I find that rather odd... if there were any they were definitely not out in the open or in the CAs building...</p>
