Additional reviews of students:

there are ten's of thousands of students in BU divided into about 13 or so different programs, depending on the school you are in usually depends on the attitude of the people. there are all types here so all these apply
Online environment; very professional.
A lot are really snobby or act it.
Very nice.
Very diverse
Extremely open-minded, which is valuable to the freshman class, as there are no barriers between age groups.
Nice; this is an online environment, so not a great deal of student contact.
Some of the kids are a little stuck on themselves- this is considered a 'rich' school overall. However, every student on my floor is incredibly kind and helpful. You can't beat the diversity, either!
good
Diverse
Largely rich population, look down on you.

Additional reviews of faculty:

Faculty are open to help and almost all are wonderful and friendly. Only few and far between will you find a self-absorbed arrogant professor. In the four years I have been here I can count on less than one hand the teachers I did not like.
They know their stuff! They all have their Ph.D.'s.
Most are good but some aren't. The TAs and TFs are bad.
The professors can be really good or really bad. Most like to try to force their political views on the student.
Very helpful, many faculty members available. Online education is a different learning medium, and Boston University is very sensitive to this learning culture.
Friendly but often live in their own world
The faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences is experienced and prompt in returning emails. If there is any problem with a professor, then the students voice their concerns in an end-of-the-year survey, and the teacher may be fired.
Awesome.
good
Driven to help their students.
EXCELLENT
