<p>So BU is one of my top choices, i visited in the winter and really liked it… but my tour guide happened to be either an english major or education major or something like that; not quite what i was hoping for, because he spent all of 10 seconds talking about how the science classes are hard and nothing more. </p>
<p>so my question is, how are the science programs (specifically physics, biochem, and engineering)? are there any substantial research opportunities?</p>
<p>Research: [Research</a> (Boston University, Physics Department)](<a href=“Physics”>Physics)</p>
<p>Undergrad Research: [Research</a> by Undergraduates (Boston University, Physics Department)](<a href=“Physics”>Physics)</p>
<p>Junior year program at CERN and Large Hadron Collider: [News</a> (Boston University, Physics Department)](<a href=“Physics”>Physics)</p>
<p>All liberal arts majors think that science classes are hard. Imagine what an english major thinks of multi-variate calculus! </p>
<p>All engineering programs have strengths and weaknesses. I’ve elsewhere noted that you can look at asee.org for a lot of information. Go to Publications and look on the left.</p>
<p>well yeah, of course an english major would think sciences are hard 
but do bu students normally get accepted by top-ranked grad schools?</p>
