I was so convinced I wasn’t going to get into BU (my act score was a couple points lower than the average) so I already committed to Virginia Tech. I want to major in Hospitality and Tourism management and both schools are highly regarded. It’s not that I can’t afford BU (divorced parents, my mom would pay) , but my dad refuses to pay for a private school when Tech is ranked as well. Is BU worth it? I’ve visited and loved it. I’m from Chicago so I’m used to the cold and snow.
My niece went to BU, didnt really care for it…if that helps. Boston is a great town though! I’m originally from there and love it. Weather will be better at Va. tech. Oldest son had a few friends at tech…Loved it. Good luck. Seems like the costs would be somewhat similar, since you are out of state for tech, so why the problem with dad?
Hi! My roommate is a Hospitality Administration major here at BU and he LOVES it (we are sophomores). The school is very small so you make great connections and he has no complaints. If you have any specific questions, shoot me a message and I will let him know. Good luck!
