[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boston College - they had an entire stage full of students during the info session, DC leaned over and said "this many kids and they couldn't find a single black or brown student?", felt very disconnected from Boston, didn't like the separate campus (Newton) for many of the students, horrible tour guide who complained constantly

Lehigh - way too much Greek life, depressing area, felt too focused on engineering which DC wasn't planning to study

Wesleyan - looked perfect on paper and had a great tour guide but really didn't like the campus, felt more arts oriented compared to other NESCACs, wasn't as far north as DC wanted to be

So true about Boston College.  We noticed the same thing.  No diversity at all.  [/quote]

This is also what turned us off from Boston College -- there appeared to be a lack of ethnic and socioeconomic diversity.  It came off the list.[/quote]
I went to Boston College and knew FOUR men named Patrick Walsh there if that tells you anything hahahah[/quote]

The school has a history of educating Irish Catholic in America. Hence, four friends named Patrick Walsh.

From their website, “ Boston College has had a long tradition of engagement with Ireland and its culture. The University was founded, in part, to educate the children of Irish Catholic immigrants in Boston. The Irish Studies program at Boston College began in 1978 and is one of the leading international centers for Irish Studies.”[/quote]
