The Boston College Tour: 9 universities in 9 minutes 

I know, a little misleading. But still preferable to "A tour of colleges and universities in the Boston area."

thats why he added "The" before, makes the misleading title not misleading

consultUS I think it was a joke..... I could be wrong though

Boston College isn't actually in Boston, but a suburb of Boston a good deal west. You'd never recognize the surrounding area as a city.

​@@teddygray8598 I mean he included brandies, bentley, babson etc but didnt include bc

That surprises me, in person I did not like the school that much

its been 4 years, did you do it?

@@Hman202 sadly no but I'm in the masters program at Georgia state. Same degree different location.

@@SpfySpaceJam so proud of you!!

esther chae good luck! if you get into one of Bostons many colleges I'm sure you'll do great 🤗

Wow, that's amazing - congratulations! So glad you found this video helpful.

Hippoge what college?

@@erikc4600 One of the smaller ones

it's not in reverse, she is just trying to get a good angle

Just out of curiosity, how does living with schizophrenia affect college education? The topic of mental illness related to access/support of education has always interested me and if it’s ok with you I’m interested in your experience.

fr, title is called boston college tour, and doesnt go there

Rachel P Honestly, I'd suggest for you to go to Northeastern. Winter or summer, Boston is such a beautiful place!

The Ohio State is a better option for STEM courses, while Northeastern is better for everything else. Both are overall similar in reputation

If you're really into school pride and sports culture, northeastern really isn't the school for it

lol ok Ohio state and northeastern are not on the same tier at all.........

if you're from Texas you'll probably be better in Ohio. unless you're extremely liberal.

Students can take courses at UPenn, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr at Swarthmore

I’m applying as a transfer to Swarthmore!

Just because US News says anything doesn't make it so. Choosing a college based on those rankings is a fool's errand.

Yes 💜💜💜💜

Good question! Boston College (BC) chose not to be not part of the tour during which this was filmed. However, I did include information about BC on the website accompanying the video, see consultus.org/study-in-boston/boston-college/

Okay thank you !

consultUS as jelly

BC trivia: It's not in Boston and it's not a college.

Lower campus is in Boston. But you are right, not the original campus, on the hill above. And now, the Lake Street propery.

Bentley. I'm touring colleges and I found to be Bentley a way better rounded and fun college.

Why not Boston college or holy cross in Worcester? Those are also pretty decent schools in the Boston area

Glad you liked the video! Why don't you e-mail me at info [at] consultUS [dot] org and we'll see how I can help you with your applications.

no such thing as a college that isn't. at least not in America.

Wicked cute!!!

Correction: Wicked Smaht

Hi Jeremia, you're a very keen obsever! Yes, that's Berklee School of Music in the intro section but the school was not part of the college tour during which this was filmed.

Boston College isn't actually in Boston, but a suburb of Boston a good deal west. You'd never recognize the surrounding area as a city.

No

Haha! Thanks for pointing that out. Bostonians are so suffickisticated ...

Boston College chose not to be part of the guided tour during which this was filmed. I feel sorry for them. LOL

@@consult-US What did you do - charge the colleges to be in your video - b/c you don't need anyone's permission to take the kind of video footage in this video.

@@kenb3552 Listen, BC is a recurring issue in this section, and I'm getting a bit tired of it. In the summer of 2016, I spent five days in Boston with group of selected international school counselors (Boston Area International Counselor Tour, see end credits). We were hosted by the participating colleges, shown around campus, and had an opportunity to talk to students, professors and admissions staff. It was two schools a day, on a tight schedule. I had no time to visit or film at other colleges. Boston College used to be part of that program (it was 10 colleges then, not 9), but they decided they didn't need that kind of exposure any more and dropped out. As a result, they're not featured in my video. Easy as that. ( I did include BC on the website that accompanies this video, see the link).

@@teddygray8598 Boston College IS located in both Boston and Newton. BOTH. Main campus straddles both. And Newton borders Boston so how can it be "a good deal west" of the city?? Know your facts before you post, bud.

Both are mentioned at the beginning. The point of this video, however, is to present some colleges that are not as well known.

There are some 50 colleges and universities in and around Boston, and yes, I deliberately missed out on 41 of them. That said, if you had watched the video, you would have seen me standing right there on the MIT campus explaining why I picked these 9 schools over all the others. Cheers!

@@consult-US Thank you for replying to me, Carsten. I understand that your motive was to introduce the less well-known or "more unheard of" colleges located around the Boston area. By highlighting BU and Northeastern among your picks, you inadvertently chose two of the most popular (and familiar-sounding) schools among overseas students. Foreign students made up around 57% and 32% of total student enrollment at Northeastern and BU, respectively. There are already over 10,000 international students studying at Northeastern. Why are they still considered "unheard of" or obscure? You could have substituted these two popular Boston schools with Berkelee College of Music and Simmons University. www.timeshighereducation.com/student/news/25-us-universities-most-international-students#survey-answer

@@JSLeow Fair enough. But believe it or not, none of the German high school seniors or graduates I've worked with over the past decade had ever heard of Northeastern before (which currently enrolls "only" 18% international students, by the way, according to the 2018-19 Common Data Set). I don't know where you're based, but I find that colleges that are household names in the US are often virtually unknown among 17-year-olds in my corner of the world (Europe) unless they're expats or third culture kids attending international schools where US schools like to recruit. But the point is, really, that this is my personal video of the Boston schools I visited in the summer of 2016, and hence I am free to show the schools that I like and that I believe might be a good fit for the kids I work with. The video doesn't claim to present an official, complete, well-balanced picture of the Boston higher ed scene. But thanks for taking the time to engage here!

​@@consult-US Northeastern was and is never a well-known name even in its own backyard in Boston. Like BU, it mainly caters to the working-class in Boston to provide Co-op programs or career-focused internship training for its undergraduate students to find jobs upon graduation, focused more on undergraduate education and post-graduate professional programs. The small 73-acre downtown Boston campus does not reflect its true presence. So, your video doesn't quite capture its real scope and scale. In recent years, it has transformed itself and expanded into multiple campuses across Boston and Massachusetts and across North America in places like Charlotte (NC), Seattle (WA), San Jose (CA), and Toronto (ON). It is also building new campuses in Vancouver (BC), Austin (TX) & Minneapolis (MN). Unfortunately, the Common Data Set that you so reliant upon does not include all student enrollments of every college. International students are sometimes lumped into a category called "nonresident aliens"; foreign students taking professional programs are not included in these data set. You should study these schools in greater depth before recommending them to your prospective audience in Germany. I reside in North America and my wife went to school in Boston.

Harvard is in Cambridge. ;-)

@@consult-USgreat thank you i want to be accepted in one of those college or harvard for a master degree can you help me

@@BestVideos01 I'm afraid I can't because I don't do graduate admissions. I specialize in helping international students apply to undergraduate programs in the US, Canada and Europe. Good luck!

The first full minute of the video is filmed right on the MIT campus, so it's a little odd to say that the film "misses MIT". The whole point of this tour is to go beyond the most obvious choices. I explain this in the introduction but maybe you didn't get to that point.
