THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING ATTENDING BOSTON COLEGE: Ask yourself this ==> if Boston College were not in Boston (which it's technically not, it's in Newton)... would you still be interested? The only reason I came to BC was because of its location, and because its a big sports school. Big mistake on my part. I feel like I'm not valued as a student here -- there are way too many professors who don't care about anything but their own research, publications, and work. Students here are disappointing -- while they're generally really intelligent, they don't work very hard and there's an overall snob factor that is way too high. I can't transfer out, because I'm on a full scholarship here... but I wish I could. Classes are HUGE, I'm pretty sure half of my professors would never even know I was in their class if I passed them on campus. And speaking of the campus... "Boston" College -- it's a trainride to actually get into Boston, and the T has become increasingly more unreliable (at least the Green line, which BC students must take.) So ask yourself this -- if Boston College were, let's say, in Western Mass... would you still want to attend? For most students, that's a no -- there's no "stellar" academic reputation (outside of the fact that smart kids come here) and unless you love JCrew, Ugg Boots and girls wearing pearls... if might not be your scene.
