<p>A kid got run over by a fellow rich prep in an SUV. It's tragic for those involved, but it means very, very, little to the rest of us. We tend to care about . . . things of international importance. Not sob stories. The earthquake in Pakistan, for example.</p>

<p>I agreee with the other poster that to my understanding NYU is more expensive than BU. Its the housing that pulls the NYU rates up so high since its NYC. Living expenses in NYC are quite high so going out can be a huge expense even if its just a meal or movie so keep that in mind. Our S chose BU over NYU because he wanted an urban environmnet with more of a campus and green space. After F year the NYU dorms are all over the city so there really isn't the type of campus you find at BU. Still NYU students say they feel a sense of community anyway. The half tuition merit scholarship at BU really helped tip the scales since he will probably want to attend grad school at some point.</p>
<p>Both BU and NYU are excellent schools with good quality internships. Good luck.</p>

<p>My understanding is that the trustee scholars, like the Univ. Professors Program students, do mingle with the other students. Quite a bit in fact although both programs want to create and maintain a small learning community type environment. It really depends on the student. You may meet a lot of students at the Rec. Center, various school clubs, etc. so if you want to mingle with more students there are lots of opportunites to do so at a large school like BU.</p>
<p>dogs - Thanks for the feedback. I am actually a NYC resident.. so yeah. I would commute. I dont really care about college campus although most people do, I think its part of growing up in NYC lol. I wouldnt pay housing (only for freshman year) and I would pay housing at BU...
Thanks again!</p>
