<p>I’m sorry that I came across to you as sarcastic and content free, this wasn’t my intention.
BC’s admitted student event, in my opinion, focuses a lot on the academics. Part of its purpose is to give students and their families a better idea of what an actual class would be like, hence the choice of courses offered for that particular day i.e. economics, history etc. The prospective students could then sit in “a class” and observe firsthand the actual professor in a classroom setting. It seems more informative in nature and as Mansfield noted, BC isn’t very good at “marketing”. If the prospective student decides to attend BC, then he/she is treated to an incredible three day/two night orientation experience, packed with a large variety of activities, covering a large expanse of interests: academic, social, etc. Truly a wonderful event. The parents are also treated to two days of programs, meals; one could chose the event, be it listening to the dean of the particular college or professors, advisors and even panels of present students. The students stay in dorms and meet up with the parents only at the very end of the orientation. The orientation is amazing.</p>
