1. There are nearly limitless ways to become involved in real-world business projects through classes, clubs, and field internships.
2. The faculty and administration are willing to listen to and respond to student concerns regarding courses, program curriculum, etc.
3. The students come from a wide variety of backgrounds - professionally and culturally - which makes for a broadening and rich experience in the classroom, as well as within teams and student organizations....

There is a sandwhich shop (Breadwinners) and a Starbucks in the building at BU GSM. The food is a bit bland and overpriced, but due to the school's convenient location - a block from Kenmore Square - there are restaurants of almost all kinds within a ten minute walk.

My favorites include: Noodle St. (good Thai food - cheap), Boca Grande (tasty burritos), and Cornwall's (excellent-quality pub fare: sandwiches, salads, appetizers)...

The best team I worked with at BU GSM was a group of five people who contributed to our Operations Management project in the Spring of 2006. Each team member came with a unique set of experiences and skills that allowed us to creatively analyze the MBTA's Green Line. Our recommendations were designed to alleviate bottlenecks in their passenger loading/unloading and payment systems and generate additional revenue for the organization.

Although we did not present our findings to the MBTA, many of our recommendations have since been implemented!!

(Check out Jim Ivers in My Faves - he was a great source of expertise and motivation on this team!)...
