With a storied history, bustling sports culture, and more than 50 colleges in the city, Boston is one of the most exciting places in the country to be a student, and BU is right in the thick of it. "Often, friends and I would go around the city to eat in Boston's 'little Italy' the North End, or catch a Red Sox game, or go to a local bar and shoot pool. The benefit, for me, of going to college within a city was there never seemed to be a <a href="http://www.unigo.com/boston_university/reviews/3300/ " target="_hplink">shortage of anything to do</a>," says Rachel, a theatre major. Since BU does not have a traditional campus like nearby Northeastern or Harvard, Boston is a major part of every student's day-to-day life. For most, this is a highlight. Sarah, an international relations student, says, "Boston is one the best things about <a href="http://www.unigo.com/boston_university/ " target="_hplink">BU</a>. It is such an amazing city <a href="http://www.unigo.com/boston_university/reviews/19964/ " target="_hplink">to be a student in</a>."
