Boston College holds a lot of dear memories for me. I love the interconnectedness and flexibility when it comes to studying the sciences, arts, and maths. The social network that has remained over the years is amazing. I have close friendships that have endured over 20 years with people from all over the world. Despite not graduating recently, I have remained in great contact with the university and know of the still great quality through family who have recently studied there.

Boston College is a beautiful and vibrant environment. Even though the teaching is intertwined with Catholic values, the community always felt diverse and welcoming. The people there are very intellectual, bouncing ideas off each other even at social events. The food there was great. They have a very easy system, based off points you buy in packs, for using their multiple cafeterias and restaurants. Overall, the likeness of the actual campus may vary from person to person. If you love a campus university within a big and busy city, Boston College might be for you.
