I went to BC basically because I got rejected from Notre Dame, George Town, and all the Ivy's. I'm from the west coast and was ready to go away for college. I would rather go to a school with greater prestige but I must say that the education I am getting is pretty solid. My professors are very good and I feel like I am growing intellectually. That said, the student population is kind of annoying. Most of the people are nice but there is a great deal of "prepiness." The steriotypical student is a craddle catholic who comes from a rich family from New England. You don't see much diversity at all and everyone looks the same. While I would prefer to be at a school with great prestige and diversity, I can't complain too much. The campus is beautiful and Boston is a great city. The education I am getting is solid and the Universtiy is in a period of change. It is climbing on the US news college ladder every year and the future looks bright. While I get annoyed by some of the preppy kids who only got in because their daddy's and mommy's have a lot of money, not everyone is like that. It isn't a school for everyone so I would make sure you visit. Finally, if you like to party then BC is really for you. However, if you don't drink, the peer pressure could get to you. It is truly the favorite past time of the campus.
