Student Experiences: In Their Own Words
We survey attendees of the Mosaic Community Welcome to find out more about their experiences. The survey responses are anonymous, but provide first-hand insights into what the weekend is really like.
I loved staying in the dorms and hanging out with all the BU students. The whole weekend perfectly balanced time spent with other admitted students, time with parents, and time with my student host. I also learned so much from the classes I visited and the cultural expo.
Diversity At BU
Monique Atkinson, speaking in the video above, decided to attend Mosaic Community Welcome because she wanted to learn about how diversity impacts BU’s students. She was also excited to see programming designed with underrepresented students in mind.
Diversity can have many meanings, covering topics including geography, religion, race, ethnicity, culture, and academics. But the good news is that BU’s community has it all. In fact, we’re one of the most diverse research universities in the country with students coming from all 50 U.S. states, nearly 100 countries, and a myriad of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
We’d encourage you to take a moment to meet our Admissions Student Diversity Board (ASDB), a talented group of students who work year-round to promote diversity on campus. And start getting familiar with The Howard Thurman Center, a campus resource that connects students from diverse social networks.
