[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just toured BC and it's very very suburban white kid vibe. I mean, felt even more than it was in the 90s when I was a very suburban white kid!

I like Jesuits, but a little diversity of thought would be good. And that can't only come from the top. The student population should be a little more diverse, and not just racially. It's unusual to be on a college campus now without seeing a more gender fluid, international, artsy, etc kids. But you don't see that at BC.

I'd maybe go with Michigan. I think a kid would grow more there.[/quote]

This is fair to some extent, but also depends on the kid.  I went to a very diverse HS and then to BC (which was a surprise in lack of diversity) but I didn't need "growth" on that dimension, as I had already grown up being exposed to it. I grew plenty.

That said - it might be hard for a URM to feel at home - not that they weren't welcomed...but a URM from a diverse community coming to a less diverse one might prefer something different (or not....again..it depends on the kid)

Honestly, these are just very different experiences. Both schools have tons of spirit but the size of Michigan and the way in which that community works is much different than BC.[/quote]
