Boston College Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Boston College accurate?

Chris

Some of them, most of them.

Elizabeth

absolutely, not everyone, but most students seem to fit the bill

Dylan

There are certainly a lot of people that fit that description, but there are plenty more that don't. The school has a lot of drinking, but it's not too bad.

Andrew

For some people, yeah, but there alot of normal people at BC. It's definitely a mixed bag.

julian

the preppy steriotype is only accurate on the weekends, such as going out and at parties, but during the days its pretty informal, sweatpants and a t isn't unusual for classes, etc, the girls are above average, but not amazing, party scene is underrated here- we throw down pretty big

Ally

No, BC is very preppy and not very diverse, but there are a lot of people who do not fit into these categories. Everyone is really athletic though.

Mike

for the most part, yes.

Cody

I would say that most of these are true. A majority of the students here were three-sport varsity athletes who were in the top of their high-school classes. Most students here are preppy or at least conscience of what they wear and how they present themselves. The students are also very cliquey.

Kate

By and large, stereotypes at BC are wrong. While the Ugg population is probably record-breaking and the boys are mostly "preppy," no one is an idiot. People may like to party, but everyone's first priority is their work. At the end of the day, Uggs and Polos are secondary accessories to books and essays.

Andrew

yes we are all white, and the majority of the student body is extremely snobbish. and yes we definitely cost too much money (very few things are worth $46,000 a year!). The moral principles behind refusing condom distribution are outdated and unhealthy. with the exception of Vandy, 90, and the Gate, the housing is pretty bad.
