Student Author OverviewWhat'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.

Off-Campus Dining at Boston College

Boston Dining

BC has a nice selection of local favorites, such as Roggies, Pinos, el pelon, etc and if you want any other type of food, I'm sure you will be able to find it somewhere in the city of Boston. Delivery options are also great, and some places take your eagle bucks. Dining out can get expensive though, especially when transportation is involved.

Health & Safety at Boston College

Incredibly Safe

The campus is located in a very wealthy, soccer mom-type suburb. When walking across campus alone late at night, the only thing I think you would have to worry about is maybe the possibility of an acorn landing on your head. We have a very large campus police force, all of whom are deputy sheriffs of the Boston PD (meaning they can arrest anyone anywhere in the state of MA). Safety is definitely not a concern at all. As far as health goes, health services will treat your basic needs, but chances are you will need to see your real doctor if you have anything worse than your average cold/infection etc. But I think this is the case at most universities

Computers at Boston College

Average

There really isn't anything wonderful or horrible about the computers here. They have both Macs and PCs in the lab, and you get 500 sheets of free printing every semester. The internet is a good speed and trustworthy. The only negative is that the printers are in one location, so it is a long walk to get to them.
