[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boston College.   Liked the campus feel and random students went out of their way to be friendly. The student panel felt genuine. The tour guide (a transfer from SMU) was excellent. The admissions person was very clear that you should not apply ED if you can't stomach the Net Price Calculator price tag and that although they are TO, test scores are helpful even if you might consider them below the average BC test scores-  pointing out that those scores are self-selected because of the TO and not necessarily a true indication of what BC would like to see. There were LOTS of prospective students.  I wish we could have toured a dorm room, and th[b]e bifurcated nature of on-campus housing for freshmen[/b] was something that we had not known about or considered.  The food in one of the cafes was decent, and students appeared to congregate and be social at the various food gathering spots.  Even though the student panel was diverse, the student population we saw that day seemed overwhelmingly white and UMC.[/quote]

What do you mean by "bifurcated" housing?[/quote]

The freshmen housing is either on-campus or 1.5 miles down the road on the Newton Campus (where the law school is) and they have shuttle service to get to campus.  From what was said, it creates a rivalry/camaraderie of sorts between the two housing cohorts - as those that bus in form tight bonds with their cohort since they see them every day on the bus etc.  [/quote]
