For our entire lives, all the best movies have come from Hollywood; we’ve relied on it for decades for all the top quality content.

Miami is the mecca for diversity. In its busy streets linger the resonant sounds and distinctive touch of almost any language, culture, race, and ethnicity one could possibly think of. It’s a world unto itself that has not yet been influenced by the predominantly White American homogeneity that comprises the rest of Florida and the United States.

The best thing to do to begin this process on the right foot is to make a plan. Over the summer, you should have taken a look at some schools on the internet and gotten an idea for what you want from a college or university. But if you didn’t, that’s ok— there’s still time left.

Today (September 23, 2018) Boston University Admissions held two ‘special receptions’ in Florida. One of these events took place at Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay, while the other was at Pine Crest School Boca Campus Performing Arts Center.
After having been informed about the receptions, I decided to go to the one closest to me: the one in Miami. This event would take place from 1 pm to 2 pm, and all the people attending–which included high school students from all grades and their parents–would hear talks from three different people related to Boston University in some way that would be advocating for BU and convincing the attendees to join the school.
