BU would be a great school for what you are looking at from a learning perspective. But let's keep in mind that as I type this, Bellarmine has a squiggly line under it in Chrome because it doesn't recognize the word...

But when I graduated (2002) I applied to a lot of big name companies (e.g. Microsoft, Intel, etc) and Bellarmine wasn't even on their drop down list of what college I went to when I applied online. Their reputation is growing nationally, in no small part to the basketball and lacrosse team, but it still isn't like going to a big name school.

That being said, my buddy graduated from Cornell and here in Louisville we are on about equal footing when it comes to college reputation with employeers. In fact, it probably gives me more opportunity than she has. But that's how Louisville is - we take care of our own. So if you are looking to stay in the Louisville area, Bellarmine is a great way to go. Looking to have a college stand out on a resume on the west coast, there are other options available.
