Agreed. It just seemed as if everyone was saying it was a shit school in this thread. So..yea.
lol, yea. I'm proud I went to BU but seriously it's nothing to brag about.
Remember the snobby Harvard guy in Good Will Hunting? That happened last night.

I run into similar people on an almost daily basis. Just the other day I had a friend's boyfriend belittle me for "not even having a real job." People look down on you for social reasons, and assume you are a certain way because of that. I used to get followed around in department stores like I was going to steal something, just as one example.
It's frustrating, confusing, and a little funny all at the same time.
A lot of what I run into is rich kids (in their 20s now but still kids) who look down on me because I'm from a poor family. Kids who haven't worked a day in their lives and leech off their parents.

This kind of thing seems like it would be an inherent problem with offering college students dollar drafts.

What an idiot. Everyone knows if you don't have the funds to backup a card on an open bar tab you just leave the place without ever even letting it get rejected. Once you're gone cancel the card.
That story was such a good read OP. Good way to start the morning. I used to be that asshole, when I was about 17 or so, and had a job making too much for someone of my age. It went to my head and I treated bouncers like absolute shit. After growing up, you realize that you can't treat people like that number one, and number two, you never know who you're speaking to. You handled it well, and hopefully this life lesson sticks with the guy. Ego is strong, but I can't even see how he will turn this into a "THOSE ASSHOLES!" type story. Especially when all of his friends aren't supporting his version of the events in the morning.
Its all ego. Most people try to define themselves by triumph over others, socially, financially, physically, anything. Its a perpetual moving goal post, that is impossible to ever fully attain. Those are the most unhappy people you will ever come across, despite their $1200 dollar watches.

Expected a juicy fight-scene... Am disappointed.
Exactly why we need you in the military.
Oh haha, sorry, was reading into it wrong.
The OP is one of the ones making fun and he apparently has a PhD from there
Nah the TC has a PHD from BC which is a much better school than BU.
BU is basically for rich kids that couldn't actually get into a good school.

They had his license as well.
And I don't (normally) bag on BU. We have the big hockey rivalry, but I have plenty of friends who are alums, a few friends in school there now, and I've probably dated more BU girls than BC girls while in grad school.

To be fair, Boston University is ranked 53rd.
But you're right, Boston College is ranked higher -- 31st.

I blame the hooligans in the College of General Studies for our low ranking. And the Fine Arts majors.
Those are only nation Universities. There's a lot of Liberal Arts/Regional Schools a lot better than BU.
Barely top 100 sounds about right for BU.
EDIT: Okay that was -really fucking mean-.
BU is a decent college. There's just a culture of arrogance coming from that school I can't comprehend; it's not a top school, it's a safety for Harvard, MIT, even WPI or Brandeis. Nobody has the right to be an arrogant fuck about their school, but it just gets pathetic when they're lording over people with a safety they didn't even get scholarship money from.

This describes like all of the Indian gangster wannabes in my town. Also known as Surrey Jacks.
I hate those guys. And I've occasionally come across people like this, it ticks me off.

Haha if you mean Surrey BC. No doubt. Go to U-Lounge in South Surrey and it's full of them.

Yup, I'm in Surrey. I have never been to U-Lounge, and now I have no intention to ever go there, haha. Unless I wanted to troll them, but then someone might get the idea to stab me or something.

Op, what bar is this? Discounted alcohol sales are illegal in mass. I shall be sending the alcohol board to shut you down. although considering there's only two bars in kenmire, shouldn't be hats to figure out where the criminals are.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
Do.
Me and my buddies will go out to troll those guys sometimes. Either at U-Lounge or at The Ob (We call it the dirty tampon) in White Rock. It's fun to put them in their place.

I fucking hate those types of kids and have sent a few home with broken or very bruised jaws over the years (as the OP demonstrates, they're usually not big at all and also do very, very poorly at blocking a punch).
Though, I try to avoid anywhere in Boston with $1 drafts- too many college kids who can't hold their booze and usually not a fan of the cheaper beers anyway.
Not missing much since it's usually something like Busch Light, Miller High Life, or around here... Narragansett.
Hey, I heard a few flowers from the Greenway got stepped on last night. You better check that out first. Mumbles will give an extra special sticker on your hall monitor's sash if you catch the culprit.

Dollar drafts sounds so good, fuck paying $6 for a pint (tip included)
edit: because that is how much a beer will run you at basically any bar in my town

It's $1 Bud Light. $2.50 for High Life bottles. Kids get pretty rowdy around midnight, but you can usually curb big confrontations by tossing people as soon as you notice they're visibly drunk.
Not sure if serious. So I won't be posting the bar name here.

$2.50 for High Life? Dear Jesus.
This thread also inspired me to watch the best parts I could find of Good Will Hunting on YouTube.

It's the law dude. Dukakis banned all discount alcohol sales. Groupon got into big trouble for it last year for a 25% off wine deal. Places like the Kells (whatever its called now) get hit with license suspensions for running specials.
looks like we found the guy...playing coy I see...not very clever.

Perhaps someone who works on what is essentially BU campus shouldnt shit on BU, especially if their establishment is breaking one of three laws that no bar wants to break (the other being underage drinking and serious incidents like a shooting). The Boston alcohol commission take their job extremely seriously.
Mind you, I havent lived in Boston in 3 years, hence why I dont know the names of current bars.
You should have just borrowed the money in the first place, none of this would have happened.
OP, change your avatar. You're going to get backtraced.
you cant think of anyone else among your friends, because you are "that" guy

LOL at BU students bragging about going to BU. If I went there, I'd do all I can to hide it. Especially in Boston.
Mark Zuckerberg: You don't have to study.
Erica Albright: [Exasperated and angry] Why do you keep saying I don't have to study?
Mark Zuckerberg: Because you go to BU!
Anyway, tons of kids like him everywhere. No matter which school. College kids thinking they're better than bouncers is a laugh.
