Boston College Top Questions

Very prestigious, very academic, very friendly and social, very complicated.

The teachers at Boston College are very intelligent and enthusiastic about their subject of study and the campus itself is beautiful.

BC has fantastic academics and terrible administration.

Just kidding, though we do have a lot of gothic architecture and a silent library [Bapst Library] that people call the Hogwarts library. its a really beautiful campus with tons of landscaping and its kept in very good condition. The beauty of the campus is one of the reasons I chose BC; that may seem odd to say at first, but college is your home for four years and wouldnt you wanna live someplace that looks nice? The main campus is pretty compact so classroom buildings are generally close together. We also have some historic buildings like the Cardinal's former residence on Brighton Campus. It is huge and gorgeous and is currently being converted into either residence halls or academic buildings as part of the BC 10 year pan that began last year. Our most iconic building which you'll see on all the broucheres, and anywhere on campus, is Gasson hall, which has arches that constitutes the Heights.

a great experience to learn in my field of study and get practical experience. great place to make new friends.

School spirit to the maximum.

Perfect.

Boston College is very uniform and content.

Boston College is the perfect school for someone looking for a great balance between a rigorous academic curriculum and a lively social environment located just outside of the city of Boston.

Upper Campus is divided into two areas. The first is the freshman living area with dorms Gonzaga, Fitzpatrick, Shaw (a special program house), Medeiros (honor's housing), Clavier, Loyola, Xavier. Students, not living in singles, share a dorm room with one, two, or three other students on a floor with 20-30 boys or girls all sharing one large bathroom per wing. Most rooms have the same layout of two beds, two desks, two dressers, and two closet nooks.
