Campus Visit Notes for Boston College


Visit Description:

I like the fact that it's close to the city and there is easy transportation. Campus is absolutely gorgeous. I went in April and the trees were just blossoming and the weather was beautiful. The main thing that turned me away though was the student body. There isn't much diversity here---almost every kid was white, rich, and preppy. If you don't mind that though, then it's a great place to be.
