#WhyIChoseBU: For Jay Patruno (SAR‘18), it boils down to the amazing people he’s met. Pictured with Lianna Frazier (SED’18), one of the many friends he’s made at BU, Jay says, “I am glad I chose BU because it has introduced me not only to an amazing professional network but also a community of friends – students and faculty – that have contributed greatly to my success over the last four years. I met my best friend the first day I arrived on campus for the First-Year Student Outreach Project (#FYSOP), and with every success and failure we always reunite as though nothing has changed. I feel supported by my friends, advisors, and professors and do not think I would have achieved what I have in the past four years without being here at BU.” Why did you choose BU?
