It's easier career-wise to have studied within a school (ie. Engineering,
Communications, Education) then to be with the sea of graduates from the College
of Arts and Sciences. Each individual school has their own career resources and
usually make it part of the curriculum to have speakers who work in those fields.
This is very true of the College of Communications.
BU has a great career resource center for the whole campus and each individual
school also has their own. There are people staffed in these offices 5 days a
week. They offer resume help, interview tips, and loads of contact information if
you want to speak to someone in a certain career field. Just ask. There are
databases full of internship opportunities during the school year and in the
summer. Visit the centers often to get updated information. People don't take
advantage of it but many people have gotten great internships through using the
Career Center. There are job fairs held every semester to acquaint people with
the opportunities and with the Career Center.
Boston University is a respected school. There are plenty of schools in
Boston--great ones like Harvard and MIT on the Cambridge side and smaller and
lesser known ones like Simmons near BU. Being at BU makes you neither a genius
nor someone who couldn't get into a better school so candidates from BU are often
seen as solid choices.
