Boston College Visit Report by Kira Marie

Visit Activities:

Information Session: Yes - Given by a wonderful speaker, it was enough to make me want to attend their college. Very helpful, easy to tell if BC is the right match for you or not.

Campus Tour: Yes - Even in a cold, wet snow, the tour was eye-opening. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and she gave the impression that she thoroughly enjoys attending BC.

Campus:

---

I visited the day before Easter break, so there weren't many students around, but the ones that I spoke with were generally friendly.

---

Extremely friendly, helpful staff. The staff helps to create a great community feeling.

---

Gorgeous. The architecture is absolutely stunning all across campus. Old, historic buildings are in beautiful condition, with stained glass, beautiful statues, and cathedral ceilings abound.

---

The historic buildings are beautifully complimented by high-tech facilities, including a completely wireless campus. The campus is spotless and everything is in pristine condition.

---

I didn't get to go inside the dormitories, but visitors should take note that 40% of freshmen live on Newton campus, a mile and a half from main campus.

---

No reason to feel unsafe here, but no reason to feel particularly safe either. Ordinary campus safety measures.

---

BC is a wonderful place to be. Great variety of academic, athletic, extracurricular, and spiritual opportunities.

---

Off-Campus:

---

BC itself is in a nice, suburban town.

---

6 miles from downtown Boston, you can't ask for anything better!
