The film industry is a notoriously hard business to break into, but Gaby Grossman is well on her way. Gaby is from LA, and came to BU not sure what she wanted to major in, but knowing it would be something in COM. She’s taken many classes here that explore all aspects of filmmaking, but has lately decided that producing interests her the most. She plans to graduate next January and pursue a...

For most freshmen, the first people they will meet at their university are the people who live on the same floor of their dorm. For BU, whether you look in West or Warren, each floor of a dormitory serves as its own mini community, a place where you can build a home away from home during the school year. As the year goes on, residents fall into roles. It is not unusual for there...

For most of us, the hilarious videos we post on Youtube garner maybe 50 views. For Alexa Galloway, every month an average of 500, sometimes even 1,000, people see her videos. Alexa, a freshman in COM studying journalism, is one of the cast members of COMlife--the online documentary series that follows three Boston University students in the College of Communication. It’s ultimately an...

For some, college is one big joke. However, for a select few students, college is literally about making jokes. In addition to being a part of on-campus comedy groups, these few students have been cracking up audiences around Boston. Part 2 of “Free. Fun. Liquid.” (hyperlink http://www.hercampus.com/school/bu/free-fun-liquid-meet-funniers-bus-imp...)

Most BU students spend around 12 hours a week in class. For sophomore Kaylyn Bancroft, it’s more than twice that number. She is a double major in CFA and CAS, pursuing a BA in Psychology and a BFA in Theatre Arts. Normally double majoring is impossible for theatre students, since the School of Theatre is a conservatory program that requires a huge time commitment. But with patient...

Walking through the halls of CAS on a Sunday night, one might hear the sounds of a deadly game of hide-and-go-seek or two couples in a laundromat-turned-Middle Earth. These are the sounds of one of BU’s improv comedy groups Liquid Fun.
“It’s like getting to do recess four hours a week,” said Shawn Musgrave (CAS ’12). “You can just create these random crazy...

We’ve all got extracurricular activities, but for most of us, they don’t involve the words waltz or cha-cha, and there are no glittery costumes. For Emily Shoov (CAS ’12), however, these are standard elements. She ballroom dances, taking lessons at Dance Fever Studio in Newton, MA and competing an average of three times a year. These competitions are usually in...

For Max Cohen and Josh Robison, music has always been there. Along with three other band members, 5 guys came together to start jamming together, and it has all been uphill from there. Get to know the ins and outs of one of BU’s newest and coolest bands, “Anchors Away”!
When did you guys start making music together?
We kind of started up freshman year – last spring...

While most of us doze through a biology lecture or zone out in a business class, Raissa Bretana (CFA ’13) sits in the costume shop at the Huntington Theatre, sewing feathers on a fabulous 1920s style hat or completing the boning of a corset. As one of only four Costume Design majors in the class of 2013, Raissa’s life at BU is unknown and unfamiliar to most other students.

It is 7:30 on a Tuesday morning and sophomore Kaylee Coughlin (COM ’14) is warming up on the ice at Walter Brown Arena in preparation for her synchronized skating practice. Joining the Terrierettes as a freshman on the synchro team, Kaylee has the opportunity to participate in the activity she loves at a less competitive level.
At the young age of four, Kaylee first started...
