\u201cStudying business at Questrom stood out to me because of one keyword\u2014potential. There are countless subjects to study and networking opportunities at the school, not to mention the directions my life could take post-graduation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A transfer student from Northeastern University, Ryan originally came to BU to major in psychology on a pre-med track. Once he discovered Questrom, his plans changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStudying business at Questrom stood out to me because of one keyword\u2014potential. There are countless subjects to study and networking opportunities at the school, not to mention the directions my life could take post-graduation. I saw Questrom as the place that could prepare me for all the potential the business world has in store for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, the BSBA program has lived up to his expectations. The classmates he\u2019s met and the strong network he\u2019s already built have been a highlight. \u201cBusiness school can be intimidating and imposter syndrome is real, and sometimes you can get caught up in the stress of schoolwork and your future. But that\u2019s when my Questrom friends remind me that we\u2019re in it together. We all chose to study business for some shared reason, and just like the stock market, our academic careers and lives are full of ups and downs. I\u2019m grateful for all the teamwork exposure I\u2019ve gotten through my time at Questrom and the lifelong friends I\u2019ve made along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan says this same bond extends to his professors. \u201cBusiness is all about people, working with them and learning from them. I can confidently say I\u2019ve had professors who genuinely care about my wellbeing, learning, and future. I\u2019m confident I could reach out to them years in the future to reconnect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another highlight for Ryan was his Core team project\u2014a requirement for all Questrom students. His team\u2019s entry was named a semi-finalist against 80 other college teams for the 2022 Core Challenge sponsored by TJX Companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan, a graduate of the Boston Latin School, is the recipient of the Boston Public Schools Community Service Scholarship, which means he must volunteer a certain number of hours during his time at BU. But this commitment doesn\u2019t feel like a burden to Ryan. In fact, because of it he\u2019s thinks someday he\u2019ll work on social issues like homelessness, affordable housing, and equal opportunity in cities across America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVolunteering has positively impacted my quality of life greatly,\u201d Ryan says. \u201cThere’s something so rewarding about engaging with your community and helping individuals and organizations with your time and energy, knowing you’re doing something good for others. It’s also a great way to explore parts of Boston you might not have otherwise seen, and volunteering is a great resume builder.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
