Around Town

Once you are 21 there are nearby bars that are very popular. The modulars, which are senior housing areas frequently have parties on the weekends as well as off-campus house parties. It is not necessary to drink/do drugs here. There are plenty of activities around the area, on campus, and in Boston that can be just as fun.

All of our varsity sports are d-1 and play other well-known schools; all sporting events are great. We're constantly ranked top 5 in the country for hockey. If the partying scene is for you, I can assure you there will be many options, however, if not, you have one of the greatest cities in the world at your disposal: Boston is just 15 minutes away.

BC has a program called Nights on the Heights. It's a safe and fun alternative to the usual party scene. The program puts on different shows and activities every weekend, and usually the kids who attend have a great time. Additionally, you can take the T into Boston and shop on Newbury Street or just walk around and enjoy the view.

You can attend sporting events, join clubs, and a big favorite is going into downtown Boston to hang out.

Visit McMullen Museum located in Devlin Hall or the Burns Library. Go into Boston for a city life.

Boston is a big city but I am not a day college student at BC.

There is a huge campus life. The drinking is overwhelming if you have never been in a place that is so extreme but once you realize not everyone is blacking out every weekend you're at a good point. There is plenty to do on the weekends if you are not drinking like sports and campus productions. If all else fails it never gets old to take a trip into Boston.

For fun, students go into the City of Boston, attend Division 1 hockey, basketball and football events, do community service and attend parties.

Sports games are always popular, so make sure you get season hockey tickets. Boston is just a t-ride away, and there are tons of things to do (or eat) in the city.

There are SO many things to do here that it becomes exhausting and overwhelming. You don't know whether to do this or that or the other. Ask yourself what your passionate about and only sign up for that on Activities Day. Otherwise you'll ending up taking too much time from your course load. Of course there is Boston right next door that has a plethora of fun stuff for college kids. It makes it easier if you have friends attending a college in Boston. Hit up some BU or Northeastern parties because when they say BC is a dry campus and BCPD is strict, the MEANT it.
