Pros

The Mechanical Engineering department was great while doing my PhD. The faculty and staff were excellent, very helpful in all aspects. The facilities were top notch when it came to research computing. It might not have as big of a name as other institutions, but it has given me a great education.

Cons

The College of Engineering is still young and small. But give it time and the department and programs will grow.

Pros

BU was well equipped with a soundproof booth and a script on an iPad.

Cons

I prefer to stand while voice acting but they it was set up so I had to remain seated. Not a big problem though.
