<p>most of these people are clearly biased. if you look at the rankings BC is mid 30’s in the national universities rankings, and holy cross is mid 30’s in the liberal arts school rankings. they are very close in reputation and ranking despite all of these people’s opinions. so choose depending on what you want to study and which college is stronger in that program, what your looking for in a college, and which school you feel most comfortable at, just in case you change your mind about transferring or are unlucky in doing so. they are both great schools and if you are successful your first year at either one, you should be able to go wherever you want</p>
