Yacht club almost doesn't matter unless they can get the lagoon decertified as a 'navigable waterway'.

Why do they need a bridge if they have boats

Imo there's way too much conversation about reputation and campus experience than about cost and debt load
I'm 10 or 20 years the school you went to likely won't matter much. But the debt you still carry (or that prevented you from saving for a down-payment or retirement) will haunt you long after you leave.
If the cost of attendance is similar after aide then sure. But if you have to pay full price for Suffolk then that could potentially be the biggest mistake of your life
Are other state schools an option? I'm guessing you want to be in Boston, but umass Amherst is an upgrade over UMB while still being much cheaper than private school

Croissants are fine. B+ quality. Pretzel croissant on certain days of the week (Saturday?) is A+ grade.

>SU is a good private college,
Is it? Not to be rude (and im the first to diss my own school), but I thought of it as a below average private school especially for the Boston area. But with typical private school prices it's basically the archetype of a school I'd avoid (pricey and mediocre)
Not to say it's not better than UMass Boston, but for the money I'd much rather go to UMB

It's Morrisey Boulevard. I've driven over that bridge hundreds of times and don't belong to / never been to the yacht club.

If a drawbridge anywhere is in need of repair there are two options. They can either repair it, or they can remove it. You can't just ignore something that can cause damage as well as being a danger to life.

All boils down to your finances and major really. I graduated from UMB(picked it over Northeastern, UConn, UMass Amherst, Brandeis)and will recommend it to anyone who is a science major, nursing major, exercise and science major. None of the schools I picked it over were offering me any real financial aid and I have I regrets at all.

I’ve been to this campus a few times for conferences and I got the same vibe you’re describing from my short visits. I just didn’t really want to be around campus. And that feeling is more important than you’d think.
Freshman year is a difficult time and for students to make it through, it’s important that it’s a place that feels welcoming and they can make a community of friends. It seems to have more of a community college vibe, which could make that difficult for a traditional first year student.
Another problem with UMass Boston is how heavily they rely on part time faculty. Every college uses some, but UMass Boston relies on them more than other schools in the area. Some part time faculty are incredible teachers, but they are paid very little so they spend very few hours in campus and are nearly always balancing multiple jobs and they have less job security so they aren’t invested in the college (and might not be there when you need a recommendation later). I was part time faculty for a year (elsewhere) and it was awful.

Why? So people post it on social media and give them attention.
Shock tactics work in viral advertising and it's why you see it so often.

And, being pedantic, those are just candles she's holding, not candle sticks, which are the things that hold candles... I doubt she made those.

Hell yeah they are. And the Bruins are on pace to break the single season wins record. I've been following them both closely all season and it's been super fun to watch, the Free Jacks don't take anything away from either!
FJ went 13-3 last year and fell JUST short of the final, so all three teams have a legit shot to bring it home this year.

I keep seeing a commercial on TV for these lawyers where that overweight lawyer is standing next to all these MMA fighters who are training, and he’s talking about how tough of a lawyer he is.
I really wish lawyers weren’t allowed to advertise like this, it feels like they are just praying on people who need cash quick to try suing people and businesses for the smallest reasons. Plus these types of ads/billboards just look like shit.
