#WhyIChoseBU: For Nikita Varman (CAS’19, SAR’19), the answer is simple: it’s the incredible connections she’s made with both students and professors that has solidified bostonu as her home. Nikita says, “I chose BU because of the people I met the first day I stepped foot on campus. I have encountered people that have empowered me and challenged me; people with similar ideologies and with completely different ones; and people from my hometown and from across the world. I am constantly amazed at the connections I make with professors, faculty, and students, but I am even more grateful for the ones that grow stronger with my friends and mentors.” (Pictured: Nikita (standing in the center) with her buasb squad in #Phoenix, #Arizona) Why did you choose BU?
