It’s in Chestnut Hill, MA

Literally 5 minutes from
Boston- take a direct street from Boston. Was just there.

Actually my son was accepted to both ND and Georgetown and chose BC over them.

Same with Harvard and MIT but they are not in Boston they are in Cambridge.

Hmm, BC moves to DS's ED1 because he would not go to ND (too remote, too Catholic) or Georgetown (too close, prefers more/better D1 sports) under any circumstance.

It may be Chestnut Hill. But it’s in Boston. Brookline, chestnut hill, Brighton and Cambridge are all the same. All walkable on the T and urban. BC area has tons of student oriented bars and restaurants as well as all the typical things you’d find in the city. Maybe you could compare to American University location in DC although even better because it’s on the T and a little more urban but with surrounding residential neighborhoods too. Cambridge and Boston and Brookline area can’t be beat in terms of accessibility…..

Chestnut Hill isn’t a city. It’s a neighborhood that extends into several cities. The BC campus straddles the BC/Newton border. Very close to BC, & right on the BC trolley line, is the Cleveland Circle neighborhood of Boston. It has businesses. So the students don’t have to go all the way to downtown Boston to get things.

Correction: Boston/Newton border

It’s more like being in Bethesda, right outside the city.

Providence has a great reputation for happy students. Did your brother like it?

BC is in general considered a step down from ND and GT which are T20ish schools, but that’s fine, BC s a great school.

No it's not. I lived there. It is an easy drive or on the T from Boston. I don't know what your issue or problem is but you have a big one.

For kids from DC who want to go away from DC and don't want a small less interesting city (to some) that you find at ND, Boston College is the first choice. My child is one of these students and I know of two others that also were accepted to ND and/or Gtown as well as UVA and Univ of Chicago and they chose BC. I guess it is nice to have options and all are great schools!
