[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m hearing to avoid Boston College. But I know a group of POC graduates who remained friends and seem to have enjoyed college there 20 years ago.[/quote] Anything specific to Boston College, or is it the Boston area in general? DC is thinking about colleges in Boston.[/quote] Specific as to BC, even as compared to BU. I don’t hear great things on this topic for Boston generally, but concerns about BC specifically have surfaced in various circles. [/quote] Boston has a tough reputation, historically re: URM, since there is one historically dominant ethnicity/background/culture (in Boston) group that was extremely racist. If you read up on Boston history, it is likely addressed (not sure whether or not they name the dominant racist group). Not all whites in Boston were racist, it was mostly one group of whites. I do not know whether they would be straightforward about it, but I am guessing no. [/quote]
