Campus Visit Notes for Boston College


Visit Description:

Great tour--we had an excellent guide. There were several guides so either we lucked out or BC is careful in how they choose guides.
Both admissions staff and students are friendly.
The campus is GORGEOUS.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

Parking is in the parking garage. Bring your ticket to admissions for stamping -so its free.
An easy drive from Boston but there is also a T stop nearby.
