Deat 4n6debator457 : Please allow me to offer another perspective. Do not rule out Boston College due to the costs of local visits. If you are near a major city, Boston College will undoubtedly have an Alumni Chapter available. There, you will be able to meet graduates from a variety of decades and disciplines. Note also that many regions across the United States have families that host “accepted student” meet and greets. Now, while you are still early in the process, many of these “hosting” families can also supply you with insight to the Boston College life.

Also, consult with the many on-line videos exploring Boston College (and others) usually produced through the admissions teams. Those will often allow you to tour a university virtually - while not the same experience, it does allow you to better familiarize yourself with each campus and culture. In today’s connected world, money to travel onto campus should not be a blocker for your family’s experience in learning more about Boston College.

Please do let me know if these ideas are helpful for you.
