My son is a freshman at BC. He seems to like it, but here are a few of his complaints....
Many course requirements
The meal plan is a la carte..meaning he has to pay for each thing he eats..He is often hungry and skips breakfast so he can eat more at lunch.
His friends at schools with frats are having more fun on the weekends. He claims that nobody wants freshmen boys at their parties. (okay, I don't consider that a bad thing, but he does)
He is on the Upper campus and is very happy not to be on Newton Campus.
He says that most older kids tell him it definitely gets better for upperclassmen and most of them really love the school.
For now, he likes most of his classes and has made some good friends.

If your DC is going to stay in Boston after graduation, definitely go to BC for the connections.

Holy Cross is a LAC and ranked 32 among that group.

Where would you put them without us news rankings? What about Villanova?

I'd rather go to BC over both ND or GU. Boston is an incredible college town.

Then you are pretty dumb. And BC's not in Boston.

Well argued. You must be right.

Omg, stop. It's on the T.

If you want to get technical, there are part of the campus that are in Boston, Chestnut Hill, and Newton.

And Newton Campus has a bunch of buildings - Duchesne East and West, Hardy, and Cushing. My brother lived in the basement of Duchesne East with pipes coming through his room and he still loved it.
