People there were very bright, and for the most part worked hard. They were easy to speak with, being very well rounded people, who tended to get involved in the school and in the community.

I found a family of friends at BC and learned a lot both inside and outside of the classroom. Through participation in clubs/activities like service trips, I also learned a lot about the world. I would pick BC every time if I had to do it over again. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience!

This place feels a lot more like a stiff boarding school than a college. I can't say I'm surprised as many other negative reviewers have said the same thing. The kids that come here are generally Catholic, sheltered, judgemental, and overall not fun. The coolest people that Ive met here are planning to transfer. Some people complain that people here are only concerned with partying, but theyre simply rich kids who can afford to buy lots of alcohol and sit in their dorm blacking out. They don't genuinely know how to have fun because they're often very pretentious and not friendly. There are many people I've met that don't like it here but stay because of its academic ranking. That's where the high retention rate comes from. In addition, the girls here really aren't good looking at all despite what you might have read or heard. How sexy can you be when you're bundled up in winter clothing half the year?

It you're conservative, sheltered, and catholic you'll fit right in here. Of course almost everyone that got in here is somewhat intelligent and hardworking so you can find people similar to you if you look hard enough.

This school is not horrible, and I know some people can go through this school very happy. I personally am not a fan of willingly placing myself through freezing winters. As a California resident I regret not going to a UC which would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars less and a more open minded student body.

I find that the people here are hardly geniuses either. They're kids who have had everything handed to them and have attended the richest prep schools which force you to participate in extra curricular activities.

This school can get you far because of its name, and I would stay if there weren't better options out there.

This college will spill out the positives and make you feel like the professors and department will guide you to a successful 4 years. They will tell you they have great opportunities to get involved and will lead you to believe that they will foster a great relationship between your years here and getting into med school; when in fact they are more concerned with their own careers and research. Half of my classes in the sciences discouraged any kind of participation or questions. You feel as though they are there to intentionally set you up to fail. It is more about how smart they are. Getting an A is barely possible because they are more concerned about their status of being a tough professor than they are concerned with the welfare of the students. For a Pre-Med student that is basically suicide! I know at least 16 people that have dropped Pre-Med, many coming from stellar science backgrounds and pretty brilliant. If you want to learn, and not rely on teaching yourself half the time, and you want to have some kind of human factor DONT go here! In this case; it is way more hype than quality! Go to a lesser known school and get great grades and you will be better off. Surely you will actually learn more as well. Business majors will do well here because the business school pumps out very successful graduates, but for anyone going into the sciences, and drank from the Boston kool aid - stand clear! Just because they say they are great doesn't mean that they are! If I didn't have to get up and actually go to classes It would be perfect because you can really meet some great people here. I have a group of friends that are like family, but it's not going to get me into a med school. Do yourself a favor and look at colleges where you can have access to professors because, believe me, at some point you will need them to be in your corner! It just doesn't happen here.

It is actually a nationally university that is ranked one of the highest. My time at Boston College was an excellent experience and I made some of the best friends of my life there. My professors were wise and were always willing to meet with me given I initiated the conversation. This was an overwhelmingly rewarding time of my life that I would be willing to repeat a million times if I could. Wed, 25 Apr 2012 07:24:33 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/MA/BC_comments.html
