Academics
Boston College, a small Jesuit school on the outskirts of Boston, “is all about educating the person as a whole.” Its strong core curriculum ensures all students receive a “well-rounded” liberal arts education regardless of their chosen major. Boston College’s well-respected education and business school attract a lot of students, and there are many other strong programs, including English and communication. Students think Boston College is a “great experience academically” and gush about their “phenomenal professors.” A secondary education major student says, “Boston College’s professors are truly exceptional and are devoted to undergraduate learning.” They’re “engaging, challenging, and understanding, [and] are genuinely interested in the student as a whole person.” Boston College’s “prestigious” academics come with “high expectations,” but if students need help professors are “easily accessible outside of classes.” Students “feel prepared for whatever is next” and note that their “well connected” teachers and strong alumni network help with the job search. One student, who was drawn to Boston College because of its stellar reputation, finds it “even better than expected.” Another adds, “I have always revered Boston College’s academic and athletic reputation, and coming here, I have not been disappointed.”
