Graduate Student Voices
Here is what current graduate students have to say about studying at Boston University:
Rajita Menon-
Although grad school is challenging, I’ve always found support during rough times. Being actively involved with the graduate council and women in physics for most of my PhD, I’ve seen the department evolve into a vibrant, responsive place that cares about its students, not merely as students but as people. The students form a very important part of this community, and I particularly enjoy our departmental socials, chatting with fellow grad students over ice cream in the summer or beer in the winter (no undergrads!), and a recent addition to the social calendar, the student-run Christmas skit. Over the past 5 years, |
Manuel Buen Abad Najar: During my graduate studies at Boston University, I've worked on high energy physics, phenomenology and cosmology. With the world-class faculty here, I've studied fascinating subjects such as dark matter. I have developed new models and explored their observational consequences through direct and indirect detection experiments, and the LHC. I also have researched its effects on cosmology. Currently, I am working with an even newer and exciting model of dark matter. Boston University is a wonderful place to become a physicist. It has the right balance of freedom and responsibility for a graduate student. Studying at Boston University guarantees a bright future in the developing field of physics. |
