Current BC junior -

-The party scene: It’s not out of control (like Umass or Uconn), but there’s always something going on around campus on Thursdays and Fridays and Saturdays. Most of it is focused around the “Mods” which are senior housing. As a freshmen girl, you’ll have no problem getting into parties, as a freshmen guy, you usually need to know one of the ppl hosting to get in.
-Sporting events: Football is HUGE. Everyone goes to the games. Basketball and hockey are also popular (hockey has won the nat’l championship twice in the past three years)
-The city of Boston: Is about 45 minutes away by T. Accessible enough, but not utilized as much as it could be. However, the student government here is focused on changing that, and frequently offers subsidized tickets to sporting events, culture shows, concerts, etc. in the city.
-Whatever other social endeavors: Unsure what you mean here.
-Your impression of the overall student “types” at BC: Most students are preppy and come from upper-middle class backgrounds. But there is definitely something here for everyone, you just need to go out and find it. The student body as a whole is very determined, and the motto “work hard play hard” definitely applies.
