I went to BU for undergraduate and master’s degrees ~12 years ago. Was only (!!) $50k then but was still very expensive.
The education is high quality and there are so many majors that they keep grading standards high as anyone can switch out to something easier (i.e. communications).
That said BU is full of very rich foreigners, and fairly rich US students who couldn’t get into Ivy league schools for whatever reason. Some of the dorms and buildings are new and cutting edge, others are really old and shitty. Living in the newer dorms is significantly more money than the older ones, so the prices quoted at the link are for the shitty old buildings.
I would not encourage anyone to go to BU who needed loans. I would recommend a merit scholarship or have rich parents. The price isn’t worth the degree or the experience.
