Visit Activities:


Information Session: Yes - The information session at Boston College was extremely informative. The 6 students who spoke were very bright and seemed very motivated. However the session overall was very intimidating and snobby

Campus Tour: Yes - The campus at Boston College was beautiful. When I think of college life, I picture Boston College. Besides the cold weather the architecture and landscape is nice.

From my 3 hour experience( A short amount of time) at the BC the students were a bit cold. Very intellectual students, but sometimes rude, and snobby.

The staff made me feel like I was in detention during the information session. They made it seem like BC was better than any other school in the nation. This was classless.

Campus Visit Notes for Boston College


Visit Description:

Our tour guide was very intellectual, but not very emotional. I would have wished for a more charismatic guide who was passionate about BC.
I wish the whole experience was a little warmer. The people at BC seemed a bit stuck-up, and were the "no funny business" type. If your not Catholic you may feel out of place because they do instill Catholicism in everything.
Great school, but could not see myself going there.
