The professors here are the tops in their fields of study. Nearly all have their terminal Ph.D. degrees, and they have good, credible experience teaching and doing research in the field. They keep up-to-date with all the current research going on, and you are definitely well informed! Best of all, they project the information in such a way that it sticks with you and you actually learn the material to apply in practical situations.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
It's such a beautiful campus with its well-kept grounds, updated classrooms and facilities, and the people are genuinely friendly to you. I felt like I was at home the first time I stepped on campus to visit in my high school year (Fall 2007). So many activities are sponsored by the school and definitely help you come out of your shell.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's a state school in PA, and so, if you are a PA resident, it's pretty cheap. Tuition usually runs at $6,000 a year, including fees associated with it. Even for out of state students, the price to attend here is much cheaper than it is at a lot of other schools. For having many professional accreditations and outstanding academic programs recognized nationally (especially business, chemistry, and education), this is a great price for such an education!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply early, be sure to have an outstanding list of extracurricular activities, and maintain at least a B average in your high school classes. It is a very selective school because so many students apply to BU every year, and so, only those who stand out to the admissions committee will be accepted. Be sure to actually visit the campus as well and talk to many students (not just one) currently enrolled to get a broad, unbiased idea of what the campus is like. Once in college, be sure to study often and become involved in your education!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Self-motivated, independent, and achievement-oriented students. Those who want to attend a big university in a small, rural town also may find this campus quite a fit.
