Big Picture
Academics. If there was just one thing I would like to change I would name it, but there are too many: bureaucracy, in bed with corporations, don't care what students do or think, more condoms on campus. There are thousands of things. Probably it is too large, but it is fine for me. They don't react. I spend most of my time in the library. Allston is a college town. BU's administration would be best suited to resign and have anyone else take over. Biggest controversy is the terrible administration. What is school pride. Is there anything usual about anywhere. I remember everything. Most students hate the administration.
Academic Life
Yeah, professors know my name because I am a loudmouth kiss-ass in class. They will not know your name if you are not. Favorite classes have had tons of reading with professors who were willing to accept discourse. Least favorite class was statistics in which the professor could speak English poorly and on top of that was a horrible teacher. Some students study constantly others don't. Class participation varies. Most BU students don't have intellectual conversations, my friends very often do, so that is subjective. Some students are competitive, but typically more in classes that have curves... less so in film studies and english or the humanities in general. Every class was unique... that is a silly question. Film studies department I don't know much about. English department is pretty cool, but it has silly requirements and a limited number of classes and space in said classes. I spend time with some of them. Professors are known to sometimes have a beer or two with students of age. BU's academic requirements are ok. I learn for my own sake, in my department I don't think anyone cares about getting a job... SMG is a different story.
Student Body
There are a lot of queer folk, no poor folk, lots of different foreign students. Hardcore Christians or conservatives probably would feel out of place and so would streetpunks. Most students wear either skinny jeans or uggs to class, also bug-eyed glasses are common. Armani exchange shirts also have a presence. Different people interact, but most types stick to themselves. Blacks with blacks, asians with asians, dirty hippies with dirty hippies, and brosephinas with bros. New Jersey and CT. RICH and upper middle class. Very few students know anything about politics at BU. This is a cesspool of apathy. However, everyone is pretty liberal. Lots of libertarians too. I don't know about the final question because I avoid those people.
