[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 posted previously about BC off our list, and our panel had some diversity, but it was white guy heavy and really uninformative. In fact, one of the white dudes took about 5 min to talk about how he took an 8am, couldn't make himself get up and did poorly in it, so changed his course of study. What?!?! THIS is what you want to show prospective students? And they couldn't answer DCs question. And, the admin guy was so stiff and did nothing to endear anyone to Jesuit values or the core. Such a disappointment. But, the Wizard of Oz hall was cool.[/quote]
