what are your thoughts about these two schools? I'm trying to decide and i'm from CA. BU's tuition is a little cheaper than temple (45000 vs. 48000), but the cost of living in boston is probably more expensive than philly, so in the end it's about the same. In term of school, atmosphere, student and curriculum, what are the pros and cons?

I'm at BU now, and while I can't offer much in the way of comparison, I can tell you that BU has some of the most dedicated faculty I have seen. The facilities are maddeningly outdated, but are improving with time.

Also, I should mention that being from CA, you will be in good company at BU. The place is literally crawling with you left-coast folks.

BU. It has a better reputation and it's not North Philly.

BU = Benedictine University?

No. Boston University.

I'd do BU, I love boston and you can't argue with it for the same price!
