I lived in Warren Towers; a huge dorm with a population of 10,000 freshman, and I met only a very small percentage. I am a very friendly, social person; I make friends everywhere I go, but there is something cold and impersonal about the entire vibe at BU. I tried to get into a few clubs, but so many people showed up for beginning sessions I could barely fit in the room--not terribly organized and very few spots for the vast number of students. I had a nightmare roommate situation, but the Housing people make it virtually impossible to switch for the entire year. Bad enough to have had to stick it out for a semester--but an entire year? Boston is great but if you're under 21 you can't really enjoy the nightlife and I'm not big on getting drunk as a form of recreation anyway. Coursework is unnecessarily difficult; I studied day and night just to keep my head above water. Some of the faculty is helpful--others can't be bothered when you go and ask questions. After a stellar high school record I barely squeaked by with a 3.0. I hated that there was no campus.
