I Hope You Like Sandwiches and Fast-Food Type Food

The food's was ranked amazing by someone, and I don't see why. They serve something that changes everyday, home cooked-type food, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bland. It's your typical campus, buffet style food. They also have a vegan, vegetarian prepackaged food section which is alright. They have sandwhiches and wraps pre-made too, and there's a dining hall which features sandshiches and burgers. A lot of kids live off yoghurt or cereal or the salad bars in the dining halls. There are two large dining halls and two smaller ones that are only open sometimes. One problem is that no freshmen get kitchens, and not many sophomores do, and if you don't have one you're forced to pay 4400 a year for a meal plan, forced. And so many kids don't eat this much, and so are left with tons of money that doesn't carry over to the next school year so kids buy others meals or buy bulk packages at the end of the year. A few creative kids buy food and give it to homeless people when they go to the city.

Jesuit. Conservative. Community Service.

If you're conservative you'll fit right in, if you're liberal, you'll notice and have issues with the conservatism. BC is Jesuit. And you can feel it. It's obsessed with community service, which is good. They seem to want to push you towards devoting your life to service, or helping other people. A few have noted that BC is very good at inspiring kids to do community service, but not to fight for justice. BC is a very "nice person" school- people are obsessed with holding the doors for others too, and being polite, but one thing is that kids aren't upfront when they should be about stuff- like people are too "polite" to talk about race because they fear offending people. In general though, the school is very concerned with student spiritual well-being, they inspire you to think about life seriously, and doing what you love while if not serving God (Jesuit), helping other people. The school main activities that kids participate in are spiritual, not strictly Catholic, retreats, and service trips. Other cons include that BC's official policy is homophobic- they banned a GLBT dance a couple of years ago- while a lot of kids aren't homophobic, a number are. This is not a school where GBLTs will come out of the closet or where kids explore sexuality. As loving as the Jesuits are, this is a big issue.

VERY BAD

There's an asian table, a black table... There are three white guys who hang out with the asians and are known by all the asians as "the white guy who hangs out with the asians" and are accused of having asian fetishes. You feel like a minority as a non-white individual. Race is such a touchy topic because people like to avoid conflict or seeming like a racist, so it's not acknowledged. Personality diversity is bad too, students are all conservative, and preppy. There won't be any people with pink, purple dyed hair, or goths and skaters, or that many hipsters.
