Hey, I'm trying to narrow down my college choices and wanted to understand a bit more about the nature of Boston University. Is it a public or private institution?
Yes, Boston University is indeed a private institution. Being private means it's funded largely by tuition, fees, private sources, and endowment revenue rather than government funding. But keep in mind, regardless of whether a university is public or private, it can still provide significant financial aid and scholarship programs to students, so don't let the label deter you from exploring all your options!
