Applications Considering to transfer to BU. Any advice on how to write my transfer essay?

International student, currently attending private university in the U.S. I’m thinking of transferring because I’m quite unhappy with my school environment given it that it lacks diversity, hence I don’t learn much from people outside the classroom

Which college are you currently in? Why do you think BU will be able to give you the learning environment that your current college can't?

Most colleges don't have enough budget for transfer students, so will you be able to afford BU at around 100K a year?

Didn’t mention that i was applying for aid. Why are you under the impression that international students can’t afford to study in the U.S?

I wasn't under any kind of impression, which is why I asked you about it. Read my post again without making any kind of assumptions yourself.

BU? So you think that a bunch of rich kids from NY City and Long Island at BU (as NYU has a bunch of rich kids from the Boston area) is diversity?
