How do we cancel meal plan if we are in apartment style housing? I can’t seem to change it in the housing portal

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some advice on whether this is doable? I plan to take organic chem (if i can get in) and gen bio for the upcoming year. I am premed, but due to some constraints I may need to also take physics 1 and 2 this year. Is this gpa suicide/does anyone have any experience with these courses and can speak to whether it’s possible.

Has anyone who’s gotten into MMEDIC not gotten the MCAT score that’s required? I’m not good with standardized tests and worried I won’t be able to get that score and then lose my seat.

How hot does it rlly get at the beginning of the summer at BU- I need to know if I should bring a fan or something for my bed (because personal AC is restricted). Ik some of the dorms have AC but i think im in a dorm That does not, and i would like to be adequately prepared considering I CANNOT sleep in the heat.

TLDR Do not work this job. The job environment is toxic.

I strongly discourage any BU students from applying to this job posting that is listed on the BU Student Employment Job Board... unless you thrive in an understaffed and disorganized work environment, being insulted and literally yelled at by your superior, and more.

Only masochists would enjoy this job.

I do not want to share details that can identify me for fear of retaliation, but just know that the stress from this job can be insane. I have high stress tolerance and have worked a wide range of jobs, but only at this job have I ever experienced stress hives during and after work shifts.

A number of BU students have quit due to the increasingly toxic work environment (which is why they are hiring now). Do not be the next one.

You have been warned.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT WRITE THE NAME OF THIS PLACE IN THE COMMENTS. I do not want them to be able to find this reddit post in a google search, out of fear of retaliation. That is also why I obscured the name in the above screenshot. You can find the name of this institution by searching through the job board yourself.

P.S. if you have already applied and are set to start working soon, I would recommend jumping ship now if you can financially afford to (ex. start working at whole foods instead). Leave ASAP whether you just don't show up to work or formally inform them via email that you can no longer work there.

is there a written rule on how many majors/minors we can (hypothetically) declare? i am aware of credit limitations, but wonder if theres space in your schedule you can hypothetically have multiple majors/minors?

Does anyone have photos of what a triple looks like in Rich Hall (west campus)? Also I'm a Questrom student and Questrom is on the east...thoughts on how difficult it'll be to go from class to class?

I feel like i’ve seen more people leave without paying than people that pay. can you get in trouble for not paying the fare when you leave?

Hi! Is the frig rental through BU reasonably priced? Would be easier to rent via take up space in the car, but wondering what the fee is and how it is split between roommates?

I have a little extra on my account for payment summary that I didn't calculate while doing financial aid and I'm seeing these listed. Was wondering what they are for and if they can be waived? And if they can, where can I waive them?

I lowk forget a lot and am worried. Do they review stuff? Or is it assumed knowledge for the most part

Got assigned to Warren C and I've heard some pretty bad stuff about it regarding the rooms, bathrooms, and some other things. Would it be possible at all to swap into Warren A or is that too unrealistic?

Wassup people ,

I know we’ve been taking over this sub for a while now but it’s almost over so bear with us. I just got off the phone with BU’s AO and asked abt my decision cuz wtf do you mean I haven’t got it. They said they understand the frustration and apologize for the delay but some applications are still being reviewed as of now.

However the lady on the phone said that all decision would fosho be out by the end of this week so if you haven’t heard anything be ready to get ur decision soon.

Ngl it’s likely a rejection and it’s fine if it is but at least we were competitive enough to make them think until the last day. We’ll either come back stronger for the next cycle , or thrive in our current school.

Anyways we wining no matter what ✨✨

I recently checked my financial aid and found a balance that is significantly different from what it was during my first year. Is the FA dept still determining balances? Nothing has really changed for me financially, and I'm confused. I remember something similar happening last summer and want to know if that's normal for rn.

Hi! I am an incoming freshman at BU and am planning on minoring in mathematical statistics and am considering taking MA225 but am wondering how difficult it is as someone who took Calc BC junior year and hasn't brushed up on calc in a sec, and also how the workload is. Eric Chang would be my professor, so if anyone has heard anything about him please also advise me!

Also I'm considering taking calc 2, what's the word on that course?

Are premeds a large chunk of the undergrad student body? Like do you think it’s at least 1000 of the 17k?
