thanks everyone who was encouraging

If any of you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask me! I’m a freshman at BU

Asking for my daughter… what’s the scoop on dorms? She’ll be in the School of Hospitality.

No one is waitlisted ED. If you are deferred your application will be reevaluated with the RD applicants.
@DGDzDad For SHA West Campus dorms would be best otherwise there would be a long walk to class.

@TomSrOfBoston Do you know what dorms are the best? I was accepted to the school of engineering. What about dining plans?

@DGDzDad Most freshman live in Warren which is in east campus, but since she is in SHA her classes will be in west so she might want to live in west.

Personally, for freshman Warren is the best, since thats where the majority of freshman live. It makes meeting people a lot easier. @student0607

@DGDzDad You may want to start a new thread.

@MACncheez - Sorry, you’re right. Thanks.

deferred…

@RedSox98 Thank you so much bro and I wish the best for you. Don’t lose hopes for BU because a lot of very qualified students get deferred but end up being accepted RD. I hope to see you next year at CAS, best of luck!

Did anyone get the Presidential Scholarship? I got in but I can’t go without more aid :frowning:
