There's been a lot of previous topics about BU. Search for "Boston University" and see what it brings up...

I went there and I thought it was a good school. Although I must say that I had a free ride as my father was a Doctor at BU's Medical School.

I may have to eventually work at a University just for the free tuition for my kids...haha.

BU is one of the most expensive schools in the country, even more than NYU.

Eek Really? Well, this proves another reason why I shouldn't apply to their film school.

BU is not more expensive than NYU. I'm currently enrolled at BU, and the tuition here is about $44,000. When I applied to NYU two years ago, the tuition was close to $50,000. Also, NYU is ranked in the top 5 universities that students come out of with the most debt.

According to the college board, both NYU and BU have the same tuition cost (about 35k). NYU has a higher cost for room and board (12k vs. BU's 10k).
