When I told people that I was going here, I heard nothing but good things about Boston University. Having a degree from here is bound to take you places.

It's not the end of the world if you can't go to BU because it's too expensive. There are a lot of great schools out there. Try to get scholarships. I personally wouldn't pay the whole 50k to go to BU. But I'm definitely happy with how much I'm paying (which is about 20k). BU is a really fantastic school, and propels you forward in so many different ways.

It's ridiculously expensive here, but a study just came out saying that BU graduates were the seventh most desired in the world, so I'm going to say that I'm willing to pay.

Though BU is pretty pricey, it's well-worth the investment.
