College Prowler Quotes

Read Hundreds of Quotes from Boston College Students

Read samples from the Boston College guide below:

Academics

“I am an economics major and I love all of my economics professors. The BC student government, the UGBC, updates the PEPs frequently on their Web site. Try to check out the reviews about professors before you select a course! They are unbelievably helpful.”

Diversity

“It’s not the most diverse campus, but every year it gets better. We broke the record for the most AHANA students ever in one class this year, and I’m sure next year’s class will break it again.”

Guys & Girls

“The people at BC are pretty nice in general. There are some who are a little stuck on themselves, but you’ll find that everywhere. The guys are hot! Sometimes it does feel like people just stepped out of a J. Crew catalog because a lot of girls put a lot...”

Athletics

“Varsity sports are huge. Football games are huge in the fall. You tailgate first, go to the game, go home and nap for a while, and then go to a party. Everyone has a party after a football game. The rest of the sports are pretty big too, especially...”

Academics

It’s fair to say that most, if not all, Boston College professors are extremely capable, and more often than not, they’re ridiculously intelligent. However, competency and good nature don’t necessarily always go hand in hand. Some of the professors are here just because it’s their job, and some care but just don’t know how to teach or help confused students understand better. Luckily, bad or misdirected professors are in the minority. Most of the professors at BC are passionate and extremely intelligent...

Diversity

Cultivating a more diverse student body at Boston College may currently be the school’s largest problem. The majority of students are Caucasian and middle- to upper-class. Walking across campus, that’s probably all you’ll see. A lot of students feel that it’s not the school’s fault that many of the people it attracts hail from similar backgrounds. Yet, BC is diligently working towards drawing individuals from different upbringings and social demographics, and the other students are becoming more accepting...

Guys & Girls

Overall, Boston College is a remarkably attractive campus, although very homogenous. The girls are typically gorgeous (if by gorgeous you mean blonde, thin, wealthy, and super smart). On the other hand, several students commented that BC guys, for whatever reason, are short and not very socially adept, though there are a few notable exceptions to this rule. Most students place a lot of emphasis on appearance, for better or for worse, so be prepared. This is not the kind of place where you walk around in...

Athletics

Sports are huge at BC! Football, basketball and hockey are the big three sports at BC, and pretty much everyone is in tune to how the teams are doing. Tailgating for football games is the highlight of many BC students’ experiences. Here, alumni, parents, and students run rampant through campus on the morning of the game, enjoying fall, food, and flavored beer. The spirit in the stadium is palpable and a total rush for any sports fan. BC prides itself on its athletic program, so you’re bound to catch a solid...
