So I’m deciding between these two schools, and I wonder if anyone has some insight on campus culture at BU, ideally in the Honors College context - inclusive? intellectual? fun? serious? competitive? collegial?
Also, is the housing good or bad (for Honors) because I’ve seen such a mixed response as far as that’s concerned, in addition to whether or not the food is great at BU. Any response appreciated! Thanks.
Congrats on your acceptance to both schools! The culture in general at the two schools is quite different, but I can’t comment on the BU honors college. Vanderbilt students are all like honors college students. It has gotten very difficult to get into.
@LBowie Many thanks. Both programs (Vanderbilt and Kilachand) are incredibly competitive. I suppose you’re right though - the students at Vandy are mostly, if not all BU honors caliber given the admissions requirements at both places, so I should probably not worry as much.
