Campus Visit Notes for Boston College
Visit Description:
Drove down from Maine to visit BU and BC.
BU was in the morning. Then after lunch at BU, we went off to BC.
Everything was pretty nice... but it just seemed too small for me... it has so many fewer programs than BU. But it's a nice campus, so I'd recommend it to anyone who's really sure what they wanna do.
Went to a Red Sox game after the visit.
