Is BU a snobby school?

I’m not sure yet if I want to go to BU but I think it’d be nice since it’s super close to home and has a good journalism program but I don’t want to be surrounded by a ton of privileged, flashy people

This is your third post asking about BU in the last few days. Since you live nearby I’d visit and spend time at the school and decide for yourself if it is a good fit and an environment where you can be happy.

Not full of privileged, flashy people. Not white bread either although I’m sure you can find both.

Snobbery is there but it’s more along the lines of hipster snobbery. That’s my take and others may disagree or know different people (ha).

The students feel real and approachable and you’ll see more t-shirts and jeans than pink shorts and boat shoes on the guys. Nice arts scene.

Very easy to visit–go see for yourself.
