BC Questions

I was originally planning on attending a semi-small liberal arts college. I visited BC over the summer and liked it, so I applied. It wasn’t my first choice, but it was still a choice. I was recently accepted and now I’m having a hard time deciding where I want to go. I was wondering if any current students could give me some feedback. Right now, some of my major concerns include the following:

Religious aspect: I’ve spoken to one of the admission reps a few times and he assures me that even though BC is a Jesuit/Catholic school, the entire student body isn’t crazy-religious. That confuses me a bit only because it seems that a large portion of BC’s website talks about the whole religious aspect of the campus. I’m not religious at all, so I’m wondering how comfortable I’d feel at a place like BC.

Social Scene: Like I said, I was originally planning to attend a small liberal arts college, so I guess as far as a social scene goes, I am looking for more of a community, everybody-is-nice-to-everybody-and-hangs-out-together feel. BC isn’t gigantic, but it definitely isn’t small, so I’m afraid that it might be too clicky for my taste.

I have other concerns as well, but I’m trying not to make this too long. I’m attending Eagle Day so I’m sure that will give me a better feel for the campus and the people, but at this point, any opinions I can get will help tremendously.

Thanks in advance!
