Boston College - Does it matter if you're Catholic?

I had no idea there were masses at orientation and graduation.

This is the type of thing that may bother some and cannot be changed. If you can’t deal with there being an activity, a major activity, that you don’t want to miss like Mass for orientation or graduation, don’t go to a Catholic school. To most, they are little things like the calendar being set around Easter no matter if Easter is in March or late April, or not being able to get birth control on the student insurance plan. There are work arounds, but it will annoy some to have to work around the rules. Remember Ms. Fluke at Georgetown? She was just unhappy when she couldn’t get the rules changed.

I think one has to decide if all the possitives are worth the things they consider negatives (the religious aspects). BC is great, is the perfect size for some, has top D1 athletics.
