<p>I still have BC family connections, but not on the undergrad level, so I won’t be attending the events of the weekend, with the exception of the football game, but wanted to add my two cents. I love going to the Pops concert. Most, if not all students, attend with their family and there always seems to be a surprise or two during the evening.</p>
<p>I am a diehard football fan, so I suggest you stay for the entire game. The best part for me is at the end when the football team comes down to the student section and the band plays the Alma Mater. I get goose bumps every week. The band seems to have mixed up the tunes a little this year and I’m not 100% sure I’ve heard all the old standards. The band is really good and keeps everything lively. Maybe with a victory under the belt, some of the old favorite songs will return. Most students sit in the student section and make a visit to their folks sometime during the game.</p>
<p>My one regret is that I never attended any classes on Friday. Living in the area, I never took the day off to go to a class or two. I wished I had. </p>
<p>I also enjoyed the Sunday Mass and would suggest attending. The music is wonderful and I had a real community feeling when I attended with other BC parents and students. It just brought the weekend to a wonderful end and it confirmed for me the joy I had that my daughter was attending such a wonderful institution.</p>
<p>Have a great visit and welcome to Boston!</p>
