BC only has name recognition if you follow college sports and often gets confused with Boston University otherwise. Vassar has better name recognition in academic circles. , Vassar has innumerable mentions in media and film as a stand in for prestige and frankly elitism. Do a search. In law and order alone it is mentioned in at least a dozen episodes. Vassar is one of the seven sisters one of the woman ivies. I am sure even though smaller Vassar gets 10, 50 times the mention in films and television then BC does. How often has BC been mentioned on the Simpsons, Vassar was at least thrice. The idea that BC carries more prestige then Vassar is ludicrous. My son was admitted to both and chose Vassar. The reasons to chose BC is if you are into division 1 sports and even then BC has been awful for years like a winless season in basketball.
