Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

The general feeling seems to be that Boston College is a wonderful school and an incredible experience. However, the first few years can be tough, as you may not be prepared for the enormity of the college experience. If you’re from a very diverse high school, you will certainly be shocked at the very different atmosphere that will surround you at BC. Furthermore, so many of your peers can appear like they’re having the time of their lives, and you might feel like you’re faking it, especially at first. Yet, staying the course is absolutely worth it, as Boston College is a wonderful institution with many dynamic people who will truly challenge and amaze you. If you give the school a little time to grow on you, it certainly will and you’ll be really glad you gave it
a chance.

Also keep in mind that while parties and tailgates are enjoyable, they are not the only things college life is about. Yes, you want to have fun, and you will once you get to know people a little better, but there are other reasons you came here. Remember that you are going to college to receive an exceptional college education, and Boston College will certainly deliver that and then some. Friendships flourish, enriching academics abound, and you’ll walk away a changed person.

Diversity at Boston College

Jersey Trash and White Wash

Too many Jersey kids. Barely any diversity at all. The international students all know each other and any minority students have their own little cliques. The white students are the majority of all students at BC. People don't care about diversity as much as they should.

Parking Prices Are Ridiculous

With the lack of parking space and construction going on, there's absolutely nowhere to park for free on campus. Pricing for parking is around $300 a month! Ridiculous! No way am I bringing my car on campus if I have to pay that much. I'll wait till I live off-campus...

Campus Strictness at Boston College

Police Have Eyes in the Back of Their Heads

The police force is strict about underage drinking and drug use. First-time offenders get a letter home and a mandatory drinking awareness class, and second- and third-time offenders are in danger of losing their housing. It’s a serious if you get caught, so do everything discreetly if you're going to do it at all. If you’re going to drink, don’t start advertising keg parties or wild ragers in your room. You'll be sorry. Just be discreet.
