Oevr the last 3 years, I've found Boston College to have a friendly and open environment, allowing a wide variety of beliefs and life styles. Coming from a NYC public school, it's easy for me to see if there is a tolerance for differences. I can say that not only is there a tolerance, differences are welcome at BC. For example, my Freshman year roommate was a devout Moslim (I'm Catholic). We got along fine and are still friends. The faculty are interested in a student's success, since if the students don't succeed, neither will the university. Alumni are very active, and I've met with several successful alumni who have been very willing to help me in my studies and career. In many ways, college is what you make of it. If you go anywhere with a bad attitude and don't get involved, you'll feel that the college is terrible and that everyone there, both students and faculty, are awful people. In realty, it's more likely that it's the student's own problem, not someone else's.
