<p>I'm trying to get the hell on out of my current school and am applying to NYU, Syracuse, and Boston Univer. But after reading some comments on the board and doing some research, I realized BU isnt too good of an idea (grade deflation). So what I want to know is, are there any schools in the city like NYU that is in the range academically from NYU to Syracuse?</p>
<p>For BU, the grading is fair. Most classes I’m in have fair curves. I just think it’s a really hard school.</p>
<p>whats the environment like? cause the grade deflation thing kind of scared me</p>
<p>Environment in terms of what?</p>
<p>like the people. urban or suburban setting?</p>
<p>Well the school is IN the city. If you’re asking where people are from, mostly the suburbs.</p>
<p>ok cool, cause i need to get out of the suburbs. but what are the people like there generally?</p>
<p>Wealthy suburban kids who like to party Wed-Sunday. For the most part, not especially friendly. If you like to party, you’ll like it.</p>
<p>disappointing…hows the music scene?</p>
<p>Tulane, GWU, American I want to go to the city to :D</p>
<p>The music scene in Boston is incredible…except for the fact that the concert I was goin to tonight got cancelled :/</p>
<p>what type of music is played there?</p>
<p>Everything from rap to ska to indie. Boston is one of the major music cities.</p>
