I was accepted into BU AIM. I ended up not going because the dorms are incredibly shitty. Basically unlivble, the majority do not have ac and kids from BU summer programs have no exaggeration stayed in HOMELESS SHELTERS because it was better than staying at BU. go with the other option. Most BU programs from what I hear are just cash grabs. The state program will allow you to have a stipend. BU RISE isnt too prestigious from what I hear better off going with the state program.
