<p>I just wanted to say thank you for everyone's help. I have registered for classes at BU, and though I prefer CMU's name, campus and overall environment, I cannot take courses that will not stimulate me academically in the concentrations in which I enjoy and in which I have developed an academic record... </p>
<p>Thanks again!!! I hope I'm making the right choice.</p>
<p>About the arts at BU vs. CMU-- it's not really accurate to say that either is more prestigious than the other. Music, theater, and visual arts are at similar levels at both. Music at BU is a little stronger, visual arts a little weaker, theater pretty comparable.</p>
