Q: where do you take exams for big lecture classes? Do you just take them in the lecture hall? I have a class in Devlin 008 but I feel like taking the exam there would be really uncomfortable and conducive to cheating…
A: Yep. Unfortunately, Devlin 008 classes have their finals in devlin 008–sometimes (most times in my experience) they split the class up and half stayed in devlin 008, the other half went to mcguinn 121 to take their finals. I agree–it’s definitely uncomfortable since the desk things are so tiny, but it works. And as for the cheating, yeah it’s really easy to but I guess BC just trusts you wont. A lot of times though, professors and TAs will walk up&down the stairs to try and prevent this.

Q:Any advice for a transfer student? Any particular contacts that would be helpful to cultivate? Anything you can think of to help is so appreciated!
A: Welcome to BC! Um I’m guessing by this point in the semester you’ve at least established a small group of friends. I think that’s the most important part–because after that, people will introduce you to other people and it’s like you’ve been at BC for forever. Definitely join the clubs that interest you, it’s another great way to meet new friends. Regarding contacts…hm. If you have any small classes, get to know the professor really well. They’re really great resources!!! (You’d be surprised.) Hope you enjoy your time at BC!:)

Good luck on midterms, everyone!!!
