What is the overall experience like at Boston College?
Asked by Michael NI am considering coming to Boston College from the midwest next year. I was looking for a review of the overall experience from someone who went there.

You'll feel like you never left the midwest. The place is basically a giant Abercrombie ad; it's filled with friendly, good-looking, generally monied people who are not from New England... but wanted to go to a highly-respected university in New England (which BC is)... but couldn't get into an Ivy. Know that BC is a fairly long green-line train ride (about 40 minutes) from Boston, and that the cost of living in the immediate Newton / Chestnut Hill area is mighty high, but the suburbs between Boston and BC offer lots of options. Also know that the BC campus is run by a very conservative administration, and most of the students could reasonably be classified conservative as well. Though they do like to drink. Good luck!
