BC students are friendly, cordial and approachable, and they will return your smile on the street; they are also pretentious, "fake", and lack sincerity in their actions.
In retrospect, my undergraduate education was a coming-of-age, a process of maturation and finding place in the world. I consider myself lucky that I did not start that process at BC: the pervasive social disease of campus social life will empty your soul of authenticity, of genuine belief, of sincerity.
Last week, I observed construction crews working on a campus building being renovated. The massive foundation stones of the castle-like St. Mary's Hall were only cladding. As the workers removed thin sheets of expensive stone, layers of common brick wall were exposed.
And this, I thought, was a full characterization of BC, and an indictment of its persona as a school: verba non acta. All words, and no deeds.
All appearances' sake and window-dressing, and neither truth nor genuine friend. Definitely would have felt inwardly lost at this school.
