    Boston College has state of the art facilities and a world of resources at our finger tips. Besides it's prestigious history, it is a bit pricey but well worth the well rounded education.

    The Woods College at Boston College is an amazing opportunity for an affordable and competitive education for a student like myself on a nonstandard path.

    An incredible place with innumerable opportunities. Takes a while to get used to the campus life and culture if you are from outside the east coast. After you get used to it, the place is incredible.

    The academics are challenging but not overwhelming. The amount of information you learn, opportunities for clubs and the connections you have the opportunity to make as a Business major are all tremendous. Students love to have a fun time, especially attending college and football games.

    Boston College is a rigorous school academically, but on the weekends the student body knows how to have a fun time. There is always high school spirit at athletic events, such as football and hockey. Professors are more than available to meet and work with students.
