<p>how big are the classes?
like 500+???
or around 70-1000</p>
<p>What do you do (Social-wise)?</p>
<p>Does BU have school pride? Do you guys go to the Basketball Games?</p>
<p>Which Majors are hardest to get into in BU?</p>
<p>Hockey IS King at BU. Basketball and other sports don’t get to much recognition. The largest class that i took had roughly 60 -70 students. The hardest i would suspect biomedical engineering.</p>
<p>the larger classes i had were ~300 students, and they were all pre-med/requirement classes for certain majors/intro level classes. my other classes were 20-50. hardest major to get into is anything in eng, then every other school at around the same level, then cgs is the easiest. </p>
<p>superstar is right about hockey. after 4 yrs of undergrad (and ill be at grad school at BU for another 4 years) i have not missed a home game. SO much school pride, especially since WE WON EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY WIN THIS YEAR IN HOCKEY!!! (beanpot, ncaa championship, hockey east championship, #1 in the regular season…am i forgetting anything?). after we won the ncaa championship mayor menino declared it terrier day and there was a parade on campus where the players rode on duck boats.</p>
<p>social wise, as a freshman/sophomore i went to frats and friends’ apartments in allston for partying and would go all over boston with friends for dinner, shopping, day out, etc.</p>
<p>jr/sr year i relaxed a lot more and stayed near campus to go to the local bars (which i must say are pretty sick, especially down yawkey way during sox games if u can get in).</p>
<p>THANKS!</p>
<p>ahhh! why Pre-Med??? lol</p>
<p>Pre-Med courses should be smaller not larger!</p>
<p>oh well :(</p>
<p>and i knew about Boston U being a very good hockey team and etc.</p>
<p>For Basketball, theres always the Celtics =]</p>
<p>A lot of the classes I took that were non-intro level were capped at 50 for class size. No more than that were allowed to register. Then I took Core which had some pretty big lectures. I think maybe 200 students? I don’t know. But they also required Discussion sections which were about 20 students per class.</p>
<p>I just wanted to chip in that small classes do exist, they’re just a bit hard to come by. The smallest class I’ve taken at BU so far had only 7 students in it!</p>
<p>How much does community service on a high school transcript matter to BU admission officers?
Community service obviously helps, but will a lack of it be very detrimental?</p>
<p>statistically, the average class size at BU is 28 students. 78% of classes have 1-29 students and only 4% of classes have more than 100 students.</p>
<p>that said, class size will heavily depend on what your major is. nearly all my classes as a film major had fewer than 20 students (one had 6!), but most my classes as a psych minor were fairly large (still, one had 8).</p>
<p>keep in mind that when u have a huge lecture, it’ll also be broken down into small (20ish students) discussion sections each week. and just because a class is huge doesn’t mean the professor is not accessible. profs have required office hours during which u can visit and talk one-on-one with them.</p>
<p>I’m in CFA, so most of my classes are < 20 people and some are < 10. I guess it depends on your college and major.</p>
