Boston university

I was wondering what people thoughts are on BU? It’s got a decent number of alumni on the street according to Linkden, and a respectable name otherwise. Is BU a semi target? How helpful is it for ib recruiting?

This.

Went to BU. Have very little affinity for the school other than when the Beanpot comes around -- I work with a bunch of BC alums and always enjoy the rivalry that brings to the office.

Otherwise -- it's a great school in a highly academic city but gets overshadowed by the two schools that book end the "campus" on the other side of the river. (To someone else's point, "campus" is about 3 miles long by two blocks wide - I literally used to take the Green Line from one end to the other to get to class)
