I chose Boston University because it is a prestigious graduate school and has great research and a great BME program. I wanted to live in Boston because I have lots of friends there, I like the city, and it's close to my family. It is also a great area for getting a job in biotech after I graduate. My experience as a graduate student at BU has been pretty good. It can be tough to start a master's degree without a lot of knowledge of what it will be like, but my advisor is helpful, and I have taken a lot of interesting classes. Yes, I had to submit letters of recommendation for my graduate program from professors in my undergraduate program.

I don't participate in much being a graduate student, but there are lots of options and nice buildings on campus.
