Those who say they aren’t rivals or that their students don’t run into each other clearly don’t have first-hand experience.

They aren’t “crosstown” rivals like UCLA & USC…they are neighbors. They are both on Commonwealth Ave. They are both on the same trolley line: every outbound trolley that goes the whole length of Boston University says “Boston College” on it. You think BU students don’t notice that? Every BC student who goes into downtown Boston has to look at the entire BU campus before the trolley mercifully dives underground.You think the BC students don’t notice that?

Plus, probably 75% of the BC students have a friend from high school who attends BU. They get together for a beer. They invite each other to parties. They might not argue about whose academics are better, but they hate each other’s hockey teams like Auburn football fans hate Bama.
