Hi everyone,

The new best way to chat with your classmates, connect with alumni, and ask questions about the university has dropped!

Introducing Terrier Hub (Unofficial BU Server) on Discord: https://discord.gg/5QfEMSVw8Q

With chatrooms for every topic and a range of BU community members this is a place for EVERYONE!

  • Current students: Connect with your peers, learn about events, ask questions, and find community. Great for graduate students AND undergraduate students!
  • Prospective students: Ask questions about BU, get chanced, and learn about the community
  • Alumni: Stay involved with the happenings at BU and reminisce about your youth!
  • Friends: Get connected with the university!

This is not affiliated with BU in any official capacity. Let me know if you have any questions!

XOXO,

Housing 🔁 Swap Your On-Campus Housing: Terrier Housing (Direct Swap Connections) 🔁

13 Upvotes

Terrier Housing (formerly Direct Swap Connections) is here!

Are you displeased with your on-campus housing assignment? Want to find a direct swap?

Starting NOW you can join a database of students also seeking swaps to find your perfect match!

You might be familiar with the past iterations of my project and my recent news appearance, but this is the better and prettier version!

https://terrierhousing.com/

yes i bought a domain

Info:

  • This is for finding an on-campus direct swap or room-trade.
  • ONLY BU students with BU emails can access the information.
  • You have control over your listing-- it doesn't need to go through me.
  • You can search and sort listings to find what you want more easily.

This system has been proven to be MORE successful than posting and begging on Reddit / other social media because it puts everyone in one place!

Any questions, bugs, or concerns? Let me know by Reddit DM, on the Discord discord.gg/bostonuniversity, or via the [directswapconnections@gmail.com](mailto:directswapconnections@gmail.com) email :)

Thanks!!! <3

Fk UPS, WHERE is my shit 💀

5 Upvotes

I’ve spent the last four days going back and forth to South Campus, went all the way to West Campus, called multiple numbers, emailed support, got told “come back tomorrow,” then “we’ll contact the warehouse,” and somehow STILL nobody can tell me where my suitcase and box actually are 😭 At this point I’m not even mad about the delay anymore, I’m just losing my mind doing side quests across BU trying to find my own luggage. PLEASE JUST TELL ME WHERE MY SHIT IS💀💀💀

PSA Don't forget to clip your September Star Mkt coupon

Post image
5 Upvotes

Terriers usually shop at the Packards Corner Star Market so for us students who have the Star/Shaws App and the student discount don't forget to clip the 10% discount coupon. It was 10% for August and again for September. Guess that that's a Welcome back to campus since it's normally 5%. If you haven't signed up, do so ASAP with your school email address. And, No, I don't work for Star or Shaws, just shop there and like saving $$. And take advantage of every available student discount.

Academics Am I cooked? I have no major requirements completed.

3 Upvotes

I have no major requirements completed for anything and I keep hopping around seeing what majors I like.

I don't have a major declaration yet and to declare a major, I have to have college requirements done before Junior year second semester. I am currently in my Junior year first semester.

Is there alternatives?

Looking for a Boston-based content creator/videographer for young music artist (ASAP)

2 Upvotes

Looking for a Boston-based creator who can shoot and edit vertical, social-first content with an artist in the next few weeks 📸

It would likely only be for a few hours one day (schedule pending) —  with the goal of creating around 5–10 short-form videos centered on one song. 

Deliverables are still TBD, but we’re looking for someone with a strong eye for music, performance and organic TikTok/Reels-style content!

Please send me a DM with examples of your work and rates if you're interested — or tag someone you’d recommend! 😄

Is BU MET worth it for an MS in Computer Information Systems?

8 Upvotes

I’m considering BU MET and want honest opinions about its reputation. Is Metropolitan College considered prestigious, and how do employers view a BU MET degree compared to other BU schools? Also, considering the high cost, is the program worth it in terms of ROI and job opportunities for an international student?

Hi! I just wanted to have some reassurance that it’s okay staying home from orientation. I’ve been really sick for two weeks, and it’s only been getting worse. I live close to BU so it was easy going home but I have terrible fomo. I just want to focus on getting better but my parents want me to go back to school so I don’t miss out. Is there anyone with any words of wisdom about this?
