<p>jledoux,</p>
<p>I can shed a little light - my D is accepted at BC and WL at UVA. We have been to BC many, many times as we live just outside of Boston. We visited UVA a few times (with different kids). Both have the good academics, study hard and have some fun vibe. Both also seem to have great school spirit. If greek life matters BC has none at all but is big on community service. UVA seems to have a vibrant greek life.</p>
<p>BC’s campus is just okay, beautiful buildings but many of them with little grass. One advantage is proximity to Boston - it sits on the outskirts but its really easy to catch the T (train) to downtown Boston. UVA campus is beautiful, more spread out, more grass, etc. The town is very cool and right across from the campus - of course Charlottesville is very rural compared to BC.</p>
<p>My D will not be going to either - she probably would pick BC over UVA if it came to that. In her case BC is just too close to home.</p>
<p>A lot more than that to consider but hopefully that helps. Both great choices so you can’t go wrong - I prefer UVA but its all in fit for you.</p>
