BU is more like Northeastern

We achieved our rankings without gaming the system, the schools aren't very similar except for location.

 

[Husky25]

From an academic viewpoint, BC's admissions rate (undergrad) is lower and its incoming freshman scores are higher than BU. BC's law, nursing and education program are better than BU's. BC also gets a bump in the numbers because it becomes 'the' school to go to for many of the old-school catholic families and catholic HS's in the region (BC High, Catholic Memorial, St. John's, Xavier, Madlen Catholic, etc.). BU has a medical, engineering, and bunch of other STEM oriented programs that BC does not have. BU's communications school is also very well respected. BU's business school, which I went to for my MBA part-time, is better than BC. BU also draws kids who want an urban school (like NYC) while BC has more of a campus like setting. They are both as expensive as heck. Thus, from an academic standpoint, its a wash as they are two somewhat different animals. BU is more like Northeastern, another big urban STEM school, while BC is closer to Holy Cross as both lean liberal arts.

No, you're wrong. BC is classified as a university. The name hasn't changed from when they weren't because Boston University is already a thing. You want to go out on an island like this, then you do you, but acting like Swofford misspoke when he accurately characterized BC as a university is just plain wrong, and you should probably bow out of this argument.

Read the last sentence of the post. I admit it is my own narrow world view and I own it.

I have that right given their role in everything conference realignment event that has transpired over the last dozen or so years and even though I have a close family member and a few acquaintances who went to Boston College, every time the I hear something as benign as a passing reference, all I really hear is Pretentious U.

Folks, here is the real truth about @flugempire so you can understand what is taking place.

He's some Gopher realignment junkie, with delusions of grandeur, who used to post on the WVU scout board, got acquainted with The Dude of WV/Atomic Noodle there, became twitter friends with the Dude of WV, eventually didn't like what the original Dude was tweeting, and then devoted his twitter account to de-legitimizing the WV dude, and promoting his own fake Big 10 credentials.

Big Ten Man (BTM) is fake. There is no Big Ten Man.

For those that follow his tweets, now think about what you have read on this tweets and think about what I posted in this post.

There is none from any school that reached out to flugempire to say x and y school will be expanding with the Big 12. He simply went off of chatter from the media and web forums.

I am sure some people want to believe he has real info, but he doesn't. He is a fraud. A fake. He has no sources. His entire conference realignment stuff is to discredit Dude of WV. He loves to say Dude of WV has mental issues, but flugempire is the one that has more issues since he has devoted the entire conference realignment stuff to try and discredit Dude of WV.

As a forensic expert, i will confirm the dud's appearance here at the boneyard. Clearly no one cares about the dud to warrant spending the effort to defend him.

Very clever to so decisively own it without acknowledging that you wrongly corrected Swofford in your prior post. I guess I must have missed the transition.

Thanks. It is a talent, not a learned skill.

Why would I correct my disparaging of BC, when, similar to Robocop, my 4th primary directive as a UConn fan (whether factually correct or not, whether intentional or not) is to disparage BC?

BC is the better undergrad school, BU the better graduate school. What's to argue?

And why are we bothering or do we care? Law schools are pretty comparable actually as grad programs (the only ones I am really familiar with). BU has a med school (good one), BC doesn't. BC campus is much nicer. Who cares?

Well, now that Mark Wahlberg is going to make a movie about Caron Butler, we have 2 movies they can show on the B12N.

Caron's movie and The Recruit w/ Ray Allen aka Jesus Shuttlesworth.

UConn movie night on the B12N.

 

[mavblues]

We can also fill up a few night's worth of programming on B12N with just our National Championship games.

Not all. BC Law and education are considered by most to be better than BU's programs. BU's strength is in the sciences.

The insane thing, BC, BC, and Northeastern looked and felt like commuter schools up until the early 80's and academically overshadowed by Harvard. BC's took the attention that Flutie gave BC and ran it it in the mid 80's. John Siber transformed BU in the late 80's changing it from a private urban university to a leading private research university along the lines of NYU that culminated with achieving AAU status in 2012 (its low point was dropping football in 1997. Northeastern barely had an dorms in the early '90's.

BU has strength everywhere over BC except maybe a couple of the professional schools. Law and Business go to BC. Medicine and Communications to BU. But BU is stronger in both the sciences and in the Social Sciences, Humanities, Liberal Arts, Arts.

I think this is wrong. And this is coming from my family of BC/BU grads. In the profession anyway, BU over BC in all fields but Law and Business.

In my book, BC is classified as a piece of *!

Ah, the Boneyard, where we can debate which Boston school has better academics. US News has BU/Questrom at #43 and BC/Carroll at #45 while Forbes has BU at #48 and BC is not ranked. From informal discussions, BU's business school is strong in management and operations while BC is stronger in accounting. When I was looking for a P/T MBA program in the early 2000's, I choose BU as Harvard and MIT/Sloan do not have P/T MBA programs and BU was considered the second best P/T program in the Boston area behind Babson and as I lived in Brookline, I had no interest in driving out to Wellesley at rush hour 2 to 3 days a week.
