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....


See WHAT?


Try. To. Improve. Your. Reading. Comprehension.


No, sweetcakes, the question was WHAT did you see? Because I lived around there too & I think you’re lying about seeing a bunch of BU & BC students invading Cambridge hoping to meet Harvard students. Yes, I said lying.


That's so interesting.

I don’t think they want to meet them. But if their posse goes to mingle with other tourists to take pictures of Harvard students as if they were zoo animals, it seems like a good time to me.

This all reminds me of that scene from the Social Network:
“Why are you saying I don’t have to study?”
“Because you go to BU.”

Just not as funny if the school is BC. That does not speak well for BU…

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


Also half IN Boston.


Which part?

lower campus in Brighton

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?

The football stadium is chestnut hill, it’s like Bethesda to DC if I’m being generous.

Chestnut Hill is not a city. Chestnut Hill is a neighborhood that straddles 3 cities, including Boston. The football stadium is in Boston.

No one who is from Massachusetts regards BC as being actually IN BOSTON. We all know it's in Chestnut Hill, an uber-wealthy suburb, and at the very end of the green line T.

And non-posh Bostonians are so full of joy.

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.

So, part of BC is actually in the city of Boston, but not *nose in air* "actually IN BOSTON." Got it.

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

Ask a 4th grader to explain Venn Diagrams to you.

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
