Honestly, even after four years at BU, this weekend was one of my favorite memories of my college experience –

I feel extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to get out of the city & completely remove myself from academic stress in a beautiful place. Having a weekend so focused on physical effort rather than mental effort was great for my mental health and made me feel so much more prepared to tackle my coursework when I got back to campus. It also feels unique that I was able to do this with a  very diverse group of students – I didn’t know anyone going in, and it was great to be with both graduate and undergraduate students studying all different things. I haven’t had an experience like this that brings together people from all over BU and allows us to share a great experience together.  Again, I would not have been able to do this without the gear, knowledge, and transportation that BU Outdoor Programs provided, and I’m so grateful I could. I’ve already recommended this program to so many people and I will keep recommending it! If every BU student was able to do a program through BU Outdoor Programs, we would be a way happier, more connected, and more resilient student body – I wish everyone could experience this.
