美国留学EssayWhy Boston:A Memorable Visit.

A Memorable Visit by Anonymous - November 15, 2004 Why are you interested in Boston University? Its location sparked my interest in Boston University. I had lived in Cambridge bore, and I knew the city of Boston as a familiar yet exciting place – a perfect location for college. Although I didn&apos&apost know much about BU at the time, I decided to visit the campus. The morning of my visit, I attended an information session for prospective students. I expected a dull presentation similar to those of other schools, but I was pleasantly surprised. The charismatic admissions officer drew a uniquely vivid picture of BU. For a student like myself, who is interested in multiple subjects and uncertain which major to choose, the school&apos&aposs wide curriculum seemed like a perfect choice. The large number of study abroad programs also interested me; it was clear that at BU, I would be able to fulfill my desire to spend time overseas. My positive impressions of the university were solidified the same afternoon when my friend Y, a current student, showed me around campus. I met some of his friends and attended a psychology class taught by a Japanese professor. I also noticed the significant number of international students. I&apos&aposm not quite sure how to explain what I felt in the school&apos&aposs atmosphere – it had an exciting, stimulating je ne sais quoi I had never experienced bore. Later I spent some on the school&apos&aposs website, studying other aspects of student life. That research confirmed my excellent impressions of the school, academically and otherwise. I started thinking about Boston University because of its location, but I am applying because of the many academic options and world-class opportunities that make it an excellent place to live and learn.
