Social life at BC?

cb911, my son had many of the same concerns as you before he decided to attend BC. (He is now a sophomore there.) He has absolutely NO interest in sports – any sports! – and does not drink either. But he is having a wonderful time at BC because he has found many friends who feel the same way. He and his roommates and their girlfriends (also BC students) usually take the train into downtown Boston about once a month to attend concerts, eat at Faneuil Hall/Quincy Marketplace, hang out in Boston Commons, etc. He loves the city and I suspect that he will try to stay in the area when he graduates, rather than head back west.

And although he is white, he is not rich or preppy. He would die before he would wear a collared polo or J. Crew. He is jeans and T-shirts all the time! :)

So rest assured that BC has a broad range of people with different interests. You will surely find “your own kind” among the student population and can have a great social life.
