Boston College Top Questions

What is the stereotype of students at Boston College?

Tim

when one thinks BC, one thinks "affluent, catholic, and beautiful." when one thinks of BC students, one thinks "affluent, catholic, beautiful, and hungover." moreover, everyone is considered to be a "good, smart kid that really cares," probably because everybody also happens to come from a privileged-but-not-regal household (it's not Georgetown!).

Meg

Like most Northeastern schools the stereotype would be spoiled rich white kid. A lot of J.Crew and Northface.

Stacey

BC students are oftentimes perceived as extremely preppy and snobby, and there is the running joke that relationships don't really exist here.

Madeline

BC students are seen as upper middle class children from suburbia. It's not a very diverse campus, so many people are pretty close-minded. BC itself is scene as a somewhat homophobic, or more so stuck in the past of a Catholic tradition.
