should I go here?

<p>I was admitted to BU for th e Spring 2006 semester, but all my forms say that there is no on-campus housing available for the Spring 2006 semester. This makes me a bit nervous in terms of meeting people. I really do not like being lonely. </p>

<p>Secondly, I've been researching sources on the people there and it says that a lot of the girls are a bit snobby and materialistic. Are these just a few people getting mad? I'm mainly going to BU for a more open-minded and culturally aware student body... and a lot of the sources have said that the girls are shallow and hard to meet. A lot of the things I read about BU sound perfect for me, I really dont want a campus, and I love being in the middle of a city. But I'm also going there to meet better people (I'm coming from a big ten midwestern school where, in my mind, the kids were a bit ignorant or they were all from the East Coast and had their own unwelcoming group. </p>

<p>Lastly, what's with BU being ranked as 60th on US News and World Report? The school I'm coming from is ranked 30th. Is this a bad decision? I'm not sure how much to trust US News and World . </p>

<p>Thank you to anyone who has time to respond</p>

<p>US News is just one viewpoint, and it's not yours, so never follow it verbatim. Going to a lower-ranked school and doing better/being happier is much more important than being in the best school and being miserable.</p>

<p>If you can, I'd recommend visiting the college before making your choice. It seems the cultural/social aspect is very important to you, and people will tell you different things about every campus based on their experiences.</p>

<p>Best of luck :)</p>
