My daughter goes to BC. Her main social activities revolve around sports and music. She goes to all the football games, most hockey games, and some basketball games. (Full disclosure, she’s in the band so some of this she does as part of band, but some just for fun). She occasionally goes into Boston with friends and goes to concerts on campus and in the city. She lives in substance free housing so she can’t drink, but that doesn’t stop her from going to parties. She and a couple of her friends just don’t drink at the parties. The parties get a little crazy and are very overstuffed with people, but she has a blast. She never sits alone in her dorm on Friday nights.

That said, however, our son went to a BIG college football school and I have to say that if that’s what you’re looking for, you may find BC a little flat. We have fun at the BC games, but it’s not “an event” like at the major football schools. Also, if you really are interested in frats, the closest BC comes to that are the nasty, but ever popular, mods.

Bottom line, BC has plenty of school spirit and pride, but it sounds like how it’s expressed may not be what you have in your head as the ideal for college…
