I was thinking the same. Maybe any type of protesting is a detractor these days.

I doubt that would be an issue at a Jesuit school like BC.

Although - I will say that BC is not really a school where there are student protests.....they just don't roll that way. They tend to be active in "participating in good" but not so active in "political/topic protesting". This isn't to say they think banning books is a good thing (or other topics to protest about).

This is true if you casually ignore their massive sjp, protesting across campus, and the repeated antisemitic attacks that occurred this past spring.

You have confused BC with some other school.

Agree and I remember someone posting this about BC before. As the parent of a Jewish student at BC who is very involved with campus activities I can tell you there were zero antisemitic attacks or protests on campus last spring. What on earth is this previous poster talking about? Maybe they don't know that Boston College is not Boston University, where they did in fact have protests over Gaza?

There were multiple protests on BC campus, a few are in the campus newspaper if you are in full disbelief. Sounds like your "Jewish student" is fully tuned out of campus happenings.

you are not talking about Boston College

All of this is true of Boston college. They aren’t some enlightened lot, just a bunch of college students

We went over this in some other thread. You had the wrong school.

It's the impact of the Southern Schools. Who wants to go someplace cold and dark and your freshman dorm is really far away vs. warm and sunny into November and warm and sunny again at the end of February?

BC is NOT a top school. There is no surprise ED acceptances from above avg private kids. Top private kids use BC as a backup in RD, then go to T15 /ivy instead

it's 36 in national universities

depends on your definition of TOP

I've had to have kids evacuated 4 times recently from southern schools. My BC kid hates the heat. And the underclass dorms on BC's Upper/CoRd are next door to the dining hall/cafe/starbucks/mail room/bookstore, etc. Can walk the entire campus in 15 minutes so not sure what's "really far away." November was gorgeous in Boston this year. Different kids like different things. Go figure.

Evacuated for what?

Hurricanes

Oh interesting. Never really had this issue and have put three of my kids into Southern institutions. Hope your child's school is okay.
