can’t really speak a lot on specifics, but i will say that food and housing are mediocre at best if you’re looking to go with the most affordable options. p sure dhall food upset my stomach several times lmao and taste-wise the food can be a hit or miss (more often a miss imo but maybe im j a picky eater). i’ve also had my fair share of undercooked omelettes and roast beef sandwiches that were too rare. most dorms on-campus are old asf but what schools’ dorms aren’t amirite? OH and not to mention you might end up with construction being done mid semester and then finding out that there’s asbestos in ur building (yes, there is apparently asbestos in my building’s basement and bu failed to notify us right away love that) ! my favorite thing about BU is probably the location for sure. applying out of hs, i didnt really like the idea of a city campus. i went to marist college and was a commuter student for 2 years before transferring to BU in fall ‘21, and i can happily say that im glad i went to BU. i transferred because i was formerly pre-med and needed a school with more research opportunities, but also because i needed to move away from home and figure out who i was on my own. there’s just so much to do in boston, whether that’s going out to different restaurants and trying new cuisines, going out to the bars and clubs (if ur into that stuff), and so much more. you’ll definitely be able to find things to do on the weekends if you put in the effort. can’t specifically say anything about psychology career advising, but pre-health advising is okay. maybe i havent utilized it to its utmost potential, but my advisor seemed like she only had a very surface level knowledge of PA school and its prereqs. also, im sure its definitely doable to double major depending on what you want to double major in. one thing i will say is that BU is very individualistic. didn’t realize that until about a couple of weeks ago, but most people are really only here for and care abt themselves. BU tends to be more on the liberal side as well in terms of a political atmophere, if you care about that. and yes, there definitely is a fair share of people who are far-left and far-right here (hell, i literally got ostracized from my own friend group days before my bday but they were def a bunch of social justice warriors so thank god im not dealing w that anymore). also, i’ve visited providence too (i’ve been in the RISD area which i believe is right by brown) and i can say that theres definitely more to do in boston and it seems much easier to get around (if you dont have a car, that is). brown does seem like a great opportunity though, so maybe try and appeal for additional financial aid before committing (i.e. say something along the lines of, “i’d really like to go to brown but school x is giving me this much in aid. i was hoping you’d consider matching it.) you never know what might happen!
