Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Psychology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright For the most part, I like everything about this school aside from the academic experience. I've met a lot of great people here and there are enough fun activities to do when there is time for them...on the other hand, the "school" part of BC can really bring down the quality of life here. Classwork is rarely (if ever) interesting or motivating, and I find myself doing work because I have to rather than because I want to--and I'm a person who likes learning! I find that teachers here are more concerned with making sure students can spit back the information they are taught rather than getting them to do any real experiential or self-motivated learning. Also, "the core" (the 15 or so required classes for every Arts & Sciences student) is miserable. Superficial learning, lots of busy work, large classes, and not much else. I will be very happy to get out of here when I graduate. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Innovation: D- Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

I had visited the school two times prior to deciding to enroll and have regretted my decision ever since. Drinking is beyond popular as a social forum here. If you do not drink it is difficult to find anyone else who doesn't...especially as a freshman. I've had professors even tell me that I need to be more "creative" in an effort to find people who do not drink. The professors for the most part are excellent. Not all, but many of them understand their topics well and of course, there are better ones than others. However, my real issue with this school is the administration. If you try to do anything off the beaten track, you can forget about it. You are limited in so many directions because the administration only wants you to do what they want. If you want to go into business, you should apply that way on your application because your chances are less than 1% for internally transferring into the business school. It is even more difficult trying to graduate in three years. The administration does not listen to what you as a student say, and overall nothing you say has any effect. They are out for your money. And I certainly do not feel that the experience has been worth 50,000+ dollars per year. Surrounding City: A+, Social Life: F Have a Question?

And yes, I'm white and attended private Catholic schools all my life, therefore, I have a preety gauge of who is real money and those who are faking it. Not that it matters, but socio-economic background and status reign supreme at BC. If you are "economically challeneged" you are looked down upon. God help you if you're not blonde with blue eyes and White i.e waspy. That makes you a tripple minority! And please, if you are a gay student, run for the hills or stay and learn to be strong. Although i grew up in, let's say, a non-economicall challenged household, however, I was raised to love and accept everyone regardless of their percieved differences. And that's from my heart and soul. Because of my upbringing, being a BC student is quite stressful because I tend to allienate myself from a lot of people simply because I do not want to become part of their BS. Not the college experince I was hoping far. The moral of this story, Boston College is not a culturally freindly place and the "powers that be" do not seem to care. Oh, unless of course you can shoot a ball through a hoop or run a ball up and down a football field. What racist hypocrites!! Just go to www.bc.com and see just how many non-white students are on the pages. Why? Well at least they are letting you know up front who is in control and who is more relevant. Again these are the facts, not opinions, of a WHITE student who is in the process of transferring to another college far and away from MA. Preparedness: F, Reputation: D Have a Question?
