I'm contemplating whether to go to BU for grad school. What's the reputation and anyone think is worth the astronomical tuition costs? My other choices are Temple Univ. in Philly and DePaul in Chicago. If anyone is familiar with one or all three, I'm interested in some feedback. Thanks.

The best oneis the one that is free to you! [I mean if your company cares to pay for it. ]

Umm.. You mean companies don't pay you an extra $30-40K a year when you get your graduate degree (so you can pay the student loan)? But, I heard the average bonus on Wall Street last year was $600K. Just imagine the small investment you are making today!!

What more do you need to know

Sorry, I don't know anything about the other area's you mentioned and I'm sure you already know how rich this area is in history and culture.

I took some classes at BU over the summer. It's a good school and it has a pretty nice campus. In terms of reputation, it's a relatively well-respected college (BC, for example, is generally considered BU's superior).

I thought BU had a slight advantage when it came to academics, or am I mistaken? I guess a lot depends on the type of program of course.

Stockholmaren: I think it does depend on which program -- BU is higher rated for law than BC, but BC is slightly higher for an MBA. It seems that BC has a more devoted alumni network.

Link-- what is the program you'll be entering? I'm trying to think of a program Temple or DePaul would have that is rated more highly than BU, and I can't; but if you don't plan on staying in Boston after, it might not matter.
