BC on BU, BU on BC

For a couple of schools with a lot in common, Boston University and Boston College sure dont seem to like each other much.
We share the same avenue, gripe about the same B Line, take turns winning the NCAA hockey championship, even get mistaken for each other by unfamiliar out-of-towners. But ask BU students which school theyd most like to beat (at pretty much anything) and youll hear two letters: BC.

They're both phenomenal academic institutions. BU did receive a HUGE increase in applicants this year. It's equally as important to note that BC intentionally added another supplemental essay in hopes of lowering the amount of applicants and weeding out less-serious applicants; BC was successful in doing so. For a lot of colleges, it's a numbers game. For BC, it became apparent this year that quality of applicants is more important than quantity of applicants.

A lot of people go to university to get a good job. BU ranks 11th in global employability, just two behind Princeton. Where is BC you may ask? Unfortunately they didn't make the list (there are 150 schools on the list). BU: 1 BC: 0.

Boston University is #6 globally this year, #5 in the US. BU is very close on US News and World Reports. BU has a dental school, law school, Engineering and Medical school. BC for some things is great, but BU is far larger and for many things far better. I didn't apply to BC many years ago and was proud to go to BU, and my son is headed to BU for Engineering, also didn't apply to BC. The misnomer that someone would go to BU because they didn't get into BC is ridiculous. My son applied to BU and Northeastern locally, got into both and is headed to BU in the Fall.

Ahhhhh, I went to Boston University's School of Management and I don't recall that BU was known for it's engineering programs. If you think average students have A- GPAs and rank in the 90th percentile on the SAT then you must be on something really good. The fact is that more people APPLY to BU with the credentials to get in either BC or BU and thus, the school has a higher acceptance rate. As far as low income students go, are you out of your fucking mind? Both have rich kids.

BC is harder to get into BUT doesnt make it a better overall school.

Bottom line, their settings are extremely different so its really a personal opinion. That being said, most think BU is more exciting. All these BC kids that are like "oh my gpa was higher" who cares? You're snobs. The BU kids are having more fun anyways....

As an outside observer who's visited both colleges, BU's campus really sucks, a lot. It's flanked by highways to the north and south, you can see and hear them from everywhere on campus. There's almost no grass, let alone trees. It's sort of like being on NYU's campus, except at least then you'd be in New York City. I think I preferred BU's academic environment, but oh my God what an awful place. I've ultimately chosen Chapel Hill, so I'm totally neutral on the whole rivalry thing.
