Yawkey Nonprofit Internship Study: Boston University

Boston University is a good fit for me because it offers a wide range of opportunities that stand out to me compared to many other colleges around the world. The internship opportunities that allow me to be either at home or with the potential to be sent around the world is an amazing idea. Specifically the Yawkey Nonprofit Internship Program because it provides me a way to improve the quality of life for families and children around the Boston area or at even greater distances. The engineering program caught my eye because of the study abroad options in many other countries. Also the idea of having a sophomore project is something unique and that it is done in groups to build the skills of group work. One of the main features that has led
me to apply is the very strong network of connections BU has with many employers with very respectable names that provide long term opportunities to graduates looking to enter the field right out of school. The award winning faculty BU provides for it's departments and specifically the engineering department is unique and stands out among all other schools. Another major idea that is key to future success is that BU mentions some of it's weaknesses in the financial area and the idea that BU can identify it's weaknesses makes me want to apply because it shows that the school wants to get better so it is going to fix what is wrong.
