DAY 2: BU & MIT

Thursday Sept. 19th :We all met up at Boston University first thing in the morning.  We were greeted at the Howard Thurman Center for common ground, by an eager and welcoming staff (including the Director Katherine Kennedy)

After introducing themselves the staff gave each student a BU pack pack full of swag: a t-shirt, stickers, info, postcards and a recommended book, Belong, about finding your people and creating community. Then Assistant Dean Daryl Deluca rolled out even more red carpet as he proceeded to lead us up to one of our many rooftop views of the day.  The students seemed very interested in Boston University, and who wouldn’t be with all of this attention and care. Daryl Deluca and his team really know how to do it! Deluca jokingly promises to pay tuition to anyone who can find a 4.5 hour tour at any other school!

Then it was off to MIT! Maddie was the student tour guide and she walked us through the various schools, talked about importance of research. Did you know MIT has more Graduate students than undergrad students? This allows for many hands on and research opportunities for undergrads.
