Student review [#38660] for Anthropology
at Boston University - BU

I came to Boston University from a small boarding school because I needed to broaden my horizons. I study more specialized things and can use BU’s outstanding resources. There are a variety of classes, all the professors are nice and helpful, and I couldn’t be happier with my studies. However, getting the real role of the class always seems a bit difficult. Registration can sometimes surprise you if you’re not ready for it, but BU schedules it based on your course and student ID number, and the date and time are always listed on the student link you can access online. Have it, it will be shipped. It makes everything so easy. Also, choosing classes is much easier because there is an online tracker that you need to complete in order to complete the major/minor you are studying. There are always popular subjects like biology and learning. I can’t speak from experience because I haven’t taken the popular classes, but these classes are always hard to get into because of the sheer number of students trying to get into them. BU has taken steps to ensure that folk classes have more than one category, more often than not.
The facilities at BU are amazing. For someone like me who always wants to be surrounded by new information and content, this is a dream come true. However, the amount of work expected is often enormous. Depending on the area you are studying, the workload may be light and you may feel overwhelmed. But of course it depends on how you drive.
