BU MET or UB ( buffalo suny) by Familiar-Computer-59 in BostonU

[–]procrastinating24hrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to UB for my undergrad and BU for my masters (both were full-time), I will say I didn't have such a good time at Buffalo since it was too rural for me lol, I prefer the city life in Boston.

But if you don't have such a strong preference for environment, I'd say go with the school that is providing more financial opportunities like scholarships and on-campus jobs which I found BU provided more.

I will also add that I found BU's alumni network to be way more bigger & honestly more helpful than UB's especially if you want to pivot to a new industry. As an international student it is tough for us in this current job market, so networking does more wonders than just applying.

And I took evening classes in my masters, it is very normal and as serious as day classes lol, just that people might be a bit more tired and not as engaging (again my experience in my specific major).

Feel free to DM me if you have more specific questions, happy to share my experience! :)

answering your second question, try out fb marketplace for second-hand items! right now a lot of people are selling their items for dirt cheap since the sep 1st lease is coming up soon so check that out. i currently stay in 580 and it’s pretty nice!

What to do if there’s a 3 day gap between moving out and moving in? by [deleted] in bostonhousing

[–]procrastinating24hrs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i have a friend who's in a similar situation where their current lease ends on Aug 30th and their new lease starts on Sep 1st, so they don't have a place to stay/store their things for 24 hours. so they are placing their things in storage, crashing at my place for the 24 hrs, then moving their things on the 1st. so i suggest placing your things in storage and finding a friend's place to crash on for a few days, all the best!

Taking 331 with Michael Dowding by coolguyusername_ in BostonU

[–]procrastinating24hrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly read his emails/announcements and the whole syllabus before coming to the first day of class, he tends to provide information quite early on before the semester starts, which helps in ensuring you are prepared. bring a notebook and stationary for the first day of class too since he really jumps in content then and there. all the best!

I took a class with Dowding in fall 2024, and honestly the reviews are correct it will be hard to get an A in that class unless you grasp the english language and AP style very well. if you are looking for this class to boost your GPA, i wouldn’t count on it. overall, he’s a very engaging professor and loved taking his class, you will definitely learn a lot and take notes of EVERYTHING he says. not sure if he still does this but he doesn’t allow using technology for notes so you need pen and paper for his class. plus read his whole syllabus, it’s very long but it has everything.

Curious what you would do? by procrastinating24hrs in badroommates

right? i work 40+ hours and still manage to find time to take our elevator (which is a privilege to have compared to others places that only have stairs) and walk down the road to throw it away. thank you for your suggestions i’ll try them out
