Inside Scoop

Quick Stats

School Slang
  • CoRo: College Road, located on Upper Campus, where unlucky sophomores have to live
  • The Mods: Modular housing on Lower Campus where seniors live. Notorious for huge parties and lots of hook-ups
  • The Plex: The student gym
Things I Wish I Knew Before Coming To School It doesn’t always click right away for everyone. Give yourself time to adjust if you don’t fall in love with Boston College during the first week. Don’t think you should instantaneously feel at home.
Tips to Succeed
  • “Study hard, play hard,” actually does work.
  • Always check the PEPS before class selection.
  • Expand your friendship circles! Just because people live in your hall doesn’t mean there aren’t thousands of other very cool individuals to form relationships with.
  • Go away for spring break, either on service trips or somewhere tropical. You can see your hometown friends during the summer.

A Small Town

Boston College's campus itself sets it apart from other colleges. The cathedral like buildings are marvelous especially during the night. Although parties at BC for freshman doesn't start off well, it gets really exciting as you progress and become older trust me! Faculty are really nice and negotiable, Tutoring is available for all students and is really helpful! The unique thing about Boston College is the nice people that live here. Everyone feels accepted and and everyones happy!

Encourging Development

At Boston College, I have found that the majority of students want to get involved in their school outside of academics and partying. It is a place where I have come to find both pride in who I am, but also have come to realize that I do have shortcomings and prejudices. It is an open and friendly school that brings out the best in people.
