Boston College appears as an idyllic college from the outside, but in reality is marred with ridiculous problems including capricious registration and housing systems that will largely determine your experience there for better or worse. While BC's student body seems outwardly friendly, it is largely a homogeneous and cliquish one without much real tolerance beyond superficial notions of political correctness. Although BC has made great strides in trying to change its reputation from that of a heavy "drinking school," don't be fooled. A great majority of BC students can still be described as drinkers and partiers in my opinion. While BC has recently become a "hot" school to apply to, I strongly reccommend against doing so.
