<p>How’s BU’s academic program on Neuroscience (neurobiology)?
I’m currently debating on going to BU, UW, or UC Berkeley.
I love science, and I am very interested in learning about cognitive science.
I want to be able to have access to oustanding facilities, and engage in research.</p>
<p>PM me with specific questions. I'm fielding the psych topics around here.</p>
<p>Nom,</p>
<p>I am beyond curious. On a previous post you stated you were not a student, parent, staff, or alumus of BU and had no affiliation except you would be renting an apartment in Boston. Am I mixing you up with another poster or did I just read the "no affiliation" comment from you a few days ago? So I am guessing you may be a young adult. Since you have made such extremely insightful and genuine comments in the past what is the connection to CC and BU?</p>
<p>Irisa, you can also check the LiveJournal links listed previously to connect with current students with that major. I only glanced over the online BU Daily Free Press today but I thought I read something about a BU student winning an award fior research in this area. You can go on-line to the BU web site and probably figure out how to get it sent to your email M-F with news about BU (its free) including entertainment. (a plug for propsective students and parents too -- sign up and get a feel for BU including the students sounding off with various opinions...nice to see that it really is a free press) )</p>
<p>I'm not hundred percent sure, but I believe Nom is an incoming freshman that applied early decision.</p>
<p>Nom, I just reread what I wrote and want to make sure it didn't come out wrong. You are a wealth of knowlege on this board and often provide useful web links and have been kind enough to even do a little research on behalf of other posters so I really was interested in how you know so much about Boston and BU. Again, keep the helpful input coming just curious how you know so, so much.</p>

<p>Thank you for the compliments, but I'm not really the brains behind Nom. Sunkist184 is right; I am an early-decision-2009-freshman. Living in Boston, I know a thing or two about what goes on in the city (but little more than that). I hang around campus sometimes, so I have a feel for the area. Both of my parents are professors at BU. I ask them any BU questions I can't answer myself.</p>
<p>Nom's parents are BU professors.</p>
<p>Blew my cover, kinshasa ; )
Oh well, I'll edit my post.</p>
<p>No please continue to post. I must have misinterpreted an earlier description you gave of your self as a non-student, non-parent, non-alumus---get it...non??? But you are a incoming Frehman so now it all makes sense. We won't further blow your cover. Keep the insights coming.</p>
<p>Alright, since this thread is already a confessional, I'll admit what "Nom" means. Brace yourself.</p>
<p>Norm, non, gnome, "numb" pronounced while . . .well . . . numb. It's none of those. It isn't even a cheap cover for Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal (NOM).</p>
<p>"Nom" is just a nom. A "name".</p>
<p>So quit the bad jokes you dogs, you!</p>
<p>My apologies to lrisa87 for hijacking her/his thread</p>

<p>Nom, you had posted your intimate BU connection some time ago. You had blown your own "cover." (I know you said that tongue-in-cheek).</p>
<p>You're right. I am comfortable discussing the connection online. As a student, in real life, I will play it down. I am neither one of my parents, thank goodness, and I want to maintain my own identity. I would rather not be associated with them by default. It's perfectly appropriate to mention on a BU forum, though.</p>
