Idiot, Chestnut Hill isn’t a “suburb.” Look it up.

LOL!!! Why are you so angry?
It's technically a village in the suburb of Newton.
No one calls Chestnut Hill a Neighborhood.
Why don't you drop in on South Station and ask people if they know where the Chestnut Hill Neighborhood is, LOL.

Now go eat your gummies and chase it with some herbal tea and Xanax

Like all Massachusetts villages, Chestnut Hill is not an incorporated municipal entity. It is located partially in Brookline in Norfolk County; partially in the city of Boston in Suffolk County, and partially in the city of Newton in Middlesex County.

I went to a private high school in New Jersey. The way I remember it was the Catholics applied to BC, the Jewish classmates applied to BU, and the WASPS applied to Tufts if they wanted to go to a Boston school.

This was in the 80s. I was Korean, so I did the stereotypical thing for Koreans, and applied to Harvard and MIT and didn't get in to either.

to summarize the fight above....

BC's main campus straddles Newton and Boston.

If you want to be more finite, it straddles the Chestnut Hill area of Newton and the Brighton area of Boston. It also is adjacent to the Brookline area of Boston.

As far as "borders" go - you can think of this as being a campus that would straddle Western Ave on the DC/MD border. Part in DC, Part in MD...access to metro. But there are Sub neighborhoods there called Chevy Chase, Friendship Heights, Bethesda etc.

BC's campus has 3 contiguous areas:
In Newton:
Upper (mostly freshman dorms)
Middle (academic buildings, libraries, some dining, etc.)

In Boston - and access to Chestnut Hill T stop on Green Line:
Lower (dorms/dining for sophomores-seniors, football, baseball, hockey, basketball stadiums, athletic complex, garage, student center with some department offices)

There is also a Newton Campus further out with some freshman dorms and the law school. And another campus in Brighton that the Archdiocese of Boston sold to BC.

This map made me smile - a bit outdated (not for the borders you are referring to) and still has Edmonds and the Plex on lower campus.

BC does not have frats and grades are not inflated, trust me.

Also half IN Boston.

Which part?

NP. To clarify, the Boston city line cuts between middle and lower campus. All of lower campus is in Boston, including the football stadium and almost all dorms for upperclassmen.

You mean the Brighton and Brookline campuses?

While Lower Campus (with the football stadium and dorms) is in Brighton (which is a neighborhood in the city of Boston), "Brighton Campus" is the new addition that is separate from Lower, on the north side of Comm Ave. That includes a museum and Jesuit residences; not sure what else is over there.

Lower Campus is not in Brookline. There is no "Brookline Campus." BC owns some stray real estate in Brookline, such as some houses on the other side of Beacon as well as the recent purchase of the Pine Manor College campus, over a mile away.

BC has a 2 year residential college called Messina College. It’s new so it’s not crazy u don’t know about it.

Bu would have loved to have u, BC not so much.

Because BC is only 11% Asian vs BU 19%?

Oh, so the test of the truth of anything is ask some drunk panhandling near South Station?

“Hey Murph, where’s Chestnut Hill?”

Murph: “Bleh, I gotta take a wicked dump.”

Ok, that clears things up.

I said “like” I’m sure BC has LGBT students too.

Both are places people go to when they don't get into Harvard but still want the Boston experience and to rub shoulders with the Harvard kids. I am not joking.

I don’t know where you got the idea that BC & BU kids are actively trying to rub shoulders (or any other body parts) with Harvard people

Oh just having grown up nearby and seen it with my own eyes, decade after decade....

Have you guys watched the "Social Network"? the Harvard kid is not impressed.

Oh, you saw something in a movie? Ok, THAT settles it. If it’s in a movie, it must be true.

You may not realize this, but as this is an ANONYMOUS forum, you will find yourself speaking to many many different posters. You keep trying to fight with one person and its not the same one. It might be time for your meds.
