On Tuesday, May 17, nearly 1,700 members of the Class of 2022 gathered on the BU Beach for a barbecue thrown in their honor by the Student Activities Office. We asked a few of the noshing seniors to take a few minutes to share with us what they’ll miss most about BU. Not surprisingly, most said it was the people they’d met during their time here, whether they be best friends, faculty, or staff. 

Take a look. And to each member of this year’s graduating class, a class that survived the rigors of distance learning (remember LfA?), sequestering at home, and really missing their friends, clubs, and athletics teams, our very best wishes.
