Just heard back!! Did anyone receive a scholarship? I got some money but honestly not as much as I was hoping. Such an expensive school

 

[xoxoOTgirl]

Hi All! I just got accepted and I got a scholarship and GA position!

 

[futureot2be]

Hi! I just got accepted and a scholarship for a total of $40,000! ($10,000 for each on-campus term)

do you mind me asking what your scholarship was?

It was 20k! Not terrible but honestly I don't think I'll be able to attend with how expensive it is sadly.

Of course, I ended up receiving 15k a semester for the first two years so 60k total , then also a $5,000 GA position !! Obv still very expensive - but cheaper than some other programs I've been accepted to!

Hey everyone! I was accepted as well and am getting a gauge of the tuition for each school. If my calculations are correct, BU’s program costs around 160k; is that right?

Has anyone attended a BU info session/talked to current students about the costs of living in areas near BU?? How much a single, double, etc. is?

i havent, but i live in boston for undergrad! my apartment is in the south end and $2800 for a 2 bed with a heavy discount. my BF lives in the fenway area about 10 min from the sargent building and he pays $2100 for a one bed. Boston is very very expensive, but if you live in allston or brighton those areas get cheaper

There are a few BU housing groups on Facebook, and I have seen people offering a single room (within a larger apartment of 3-4 bedrooms so you would have roommates) for $800-1000 per month

Has anyone hear back from BU who applied by the regular decision deadline? I had my interview about 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything yet.
