While BU has MORE grad students & does MORE research, there are still a lot of grad students, a lot of doctoal programs, and significant research being done at BC (even in the sciences). Over the years there have been people who have thought that BC’s “College” name gives a false impression about its status regarding research, and some have proposed changing the name to something like Boston Catholic University or Boston College University; but in the end (like at Dartmouth and perhaps William & Mary–2 other “Colleges” that could easily claim to be universities), tradition has won out over accuracy.
