Boston College is located in Chestnut Hill, just minutes from the heart of the big city which shares its name. Chestnut Hill is an upscale town where the 9000 undergrads at BC feel very safe. The 4 schools at the college are: Arts & Sciences, Education, Business, and Nursing with communications and finance being the most popular majors. Nearly all students live on campus, at least when they are not studying abroad (40% do during junior year) and enjoy big-time college athletics and typical college life on campus except without any Greek organizations. Although the city beckons nearby, most students would rather stay at the college so as to not miss anything.
Important factors to the admissions office besides good grades (A/ A-) and test scores (1350-ish SAT), include diversity (students come from 49 states, 10% are international)and children of alumni. Total cost for a year is just over $51,000. This is another Jesuit school with a large contingent of priests living and working on campus.
