school for elite eurotrash and east coast slackers to attend when they are denied by the hundreds of schools superior to BU. note: no actual studying occurs there.
Did you see the eurotrash in their BMWs cruising Newbury Street last night? It was ridiculous!

Yeah, someone should really revoke their student visas.

A school filled with snobby rich kids who couldn't quite make it into Boston College.
"Kid One: Dude, I was on the T the other day and all these obnoxious BC kids started yelling at me, but I couldn't understand them.
Kid Two: Were they yelling 'SAFETY!!!!!!!'
Kid One: DUDE! THAT'S IT! YES!
Kid Two: No wonder you go to B.U."

NYU and BC rejects. Both schools have much lower acceptance rates than BU, are recognized as more prestigious, and get more individual persons into good graduate programs, which is sad since BC is a fraction of the size of BU. Recognized nationally in sciences and math as much less prestitious and difficult than Harvard, MIT, Tufts, and BC.
The Wall Street Journal ranks numerous schools-- sometimes schools with less than 10% of BU's student body-- higher than Boston University in terms of ability to get kids into good medical, law, and graduate programs. See Wall Street Journal Feeder school rankings.

A university in Massachusetts that considers itself a rival of Boston College. It's not.
"Dude, isn't Boston University better than Boston College?"

"No."

"Oh...okay."

Located in Allston, Masachusetts.

Includes several academic subdivisions such as the College of General Studies and School of Hospitality Administration.

Accepts the majority of high school students who apply for admission (57%, according to Peterson's).

Has one high profile athletic team, men's ice hockey, which recently lost to Boston College 5-0 in a season-ending NCAA tournament game.
Boston University student: "Wow, that was a rough day of hotel management classes in the School of Hospitality Administration. If I can dodge the traffic and trolley on Commonwealth Avenue safely, I'll go back to my dorm in Warren Towers and think about how glad I am that I was accepted to BU along with most of the other applicants. Maybe I'll relax by reading about how the hockey team lost 5-0 to Boston College last week."

Wow, I quit my Catholic education after high school, but I guess it's slightly comforting to know that so many Catholic students continue to be hatemongers even at the university level. There are 16,000 undergraduates at BU, and lest we forget, my children of God, that they come in many different flavors. Sure, there are some who bought their way into BU, but do you really mean to tell me those people don't exist at BC? We know that many of the (slightly overweight) rich girls who attend our school like to show off their camel toe in their (slightly too small) Juicy Couture jumpsuits, but how about scratching below the surface before you stereotype all of us?
Students at Boston University are often stereotyped as rich slackers from wealthy suburbs who bought their way into school, when in fact a sizable portion of them come from lower middle class families and places like rural Pennsylvania and choose BU because of its top rate education, generous financial aid, and tolerance for different personalities and lifestyles.
