College Prowler Take
Overall, Boston College is a remarkably attractive campus, although very homogenous. The girls are typically gorgeous (if by gorgeous, you mean blonde, thin, wealthy, and super smart). On the other hand, several students commented that BC guys, for whatever reason, are short and not very socially adept, though there are a few notable exceptions to this rule. Most students place a lot of emphasis on appearance, for better or for worse, so be prepared—this is not the kind of place where you walk around in ripped jeans and flip-flops or come to class still in your pajamas. In some ways it’s nice that everyone makes such an effort to look presentable, but it can also put pressure on you to look just as nice, even when you have an early class and stayed up all night finishing a paper. The overall image for both sexes is a fairly preppy, Abercrombie & Fitch or J. Crew look, and most people on campus fit that description. There are people with other styles on campus, but they are few and far between. It might be a little overwhelming, for example, to walk around campus with a mohawk. Nobody would give you a hard time, but you might get some weird looks or become known as “the person with the mohawk” because you’d stand out so much. In short, you can dress or look however you want to, but you might be a little intimidated by how similar everyone else is. Students Speak Out

The guys are interesting, and I find the girls to be somewhat superficial. But, I have met a lot of quality characters.

It all depends on the crowd you are drawn into. For the most part, it seems as if everyone is pretty outgoing. Stay away from the athletes because many are jerks!

Most of the guys here can be described as "bros"—friendly guys looking to have a good time, all of the time. Most are outgoing. The girls are pretty, yet they are bundled up for the better part of the year, so it's easy to forget how pretty they are. But, when spring hits, they start dressing fashionably and get into summer shape—wow.

The girls and boys can be annoyingly typical at BC. Most of them are preppy and were athletes in high school. Almost all are pretty smart and know it. The girls are better looking than the boys.

A typical student is athletic, good looking, and clean cut. Students are often said to look like a J.Crew models, which is actually kinda true. The guys are fairly good looking, especially some of the athletes, but, overall, I would say that there are more pretty girls than hot guys.

FactsBirth Control Available?
No - Because of the religious affiliation of the college, University Health Services does not provide birth control to students.
Social Scene
The social scene at Boston College can be difficult to navigate for the first couple of years. On-campus drinking can be impossible, with the BCPD making their stern presence known loud and clear. Students don't want to run the risk of getting written up or getting slapped with housing probation that can shadow a student throughout his entire academic career. Boston College doesn't encourage drinking, and it certainly doesn't foster or tolerate underage drinking. Needless to say, many students find a way to play hard anyway.
Hookups or Relationships?
Hookups are generally considered much more common than relationships at BC. The party-hard attitude can make it difficult to maintain a serious relationship, although many students do consider themselves exclusive. It’s pretty easy to find a willing hookup on any given Friday night, but as students get older, they seem more interested in forming long-term relationships.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
For those who are 21+, Mary Ann’s is the best. Descriptions of the place range from “a fun dive bar” to “a disgusting health code violation,” but one thing most students agree upon is that it’s a perfect place to meet young, BC-attending members of the opposite sex. For students who aren’t yet legal, house parties and Mods parties are great hunting grounds.
Dress Code
The dress code at Boston College is widely known as preppy. At times, it can seem that BC is the sole entity that keeps Abercrombie & Fitch in business. Many women like to dress up and show off their cute new outfits for class, whereas only a few guys bring out their exclusive wardrobes for an 11 a.m. seminar. Sweats and fleeces make appearances in many a class, especially the courses that start at 9 a.m. However, when asked, many BC students could care less about their appearance. It is always refreshing that the student body isn't entirely filled with Barbie and Ken dolls.
