School full of rich white kids who drink excessively on the weekends but put in work during the week. Most of them will either become doctors (or so they think), teachers, or accountants. Spend way too much time at the gym. Everyone acts like they're failing every class but a "failing" grade to them is actually a B. Not actually in Boston but fucking gorgeous campus. Amazing hockey team, shitty football and basketball teams. No engineering school which is weird, but all in all a top tier school with an annoyingly Catholic vibe.
Every top ten kid in my rich suburban Northeast high school who didn't get into an Ivy went to either University of Virginia or Boston College.

Not a college, but a university and not located in Boston, but just outside. A prestigious Jesuit institution that has one of the most beautiful college campuses. It is very competitive, and is referred to as BC for short.
Student 1: I'm so excited I got into BC!
Student 2: Whatever...I'm going to Boston University.
Student 1: Really? Sucks to B.U.!

Boston College is a school that is small enough so that walking around you always run into people you know, but large enough so that there are always new people to meet. BC is a great school, located in a great location, and although there are a few spoiled rich kids at BC, you realize that there is also a good number of stand up people at BC. BC has a stong academic background, good athletics (minus their amazing choking ability), and an underrated party scene.
And for the record I didn't apply to Notre Dame, nor did I ever have a desire to spend 4 years in bumblecrap Southbend.

"BC is losing to Syracuse?"
"Syracuse? But Temple beat Syracuse! Temple!"
"Let's go back to the mods"

A rigorous Jesuit school just outside west Boston, which consistently admits intelligent, motivated kids. Admittedly we don't have that much economic diversity - most of the kids at BC, no matter what race they are, come from very wealthy families. Some of the international students at BC come from such powerful families that they use fake names at school. The school is famously preppy. Brooks Brothers is practically a school uniform and Vineyard Vines did a photo shoot at the school recently.
However, the school constantly tries to attract a more diverse student body and there are more middle-class and lower-middle class kids now than there were before.

a place with gothic architecture, where jesuits and other freakishly intelligent people try to teach collar-popping, plex-obsessed, hopelessly drunk and self-centered rich folks' kids. just kidding. that only applies to about 90% of the bc population.
boston college isn't that bad.

The school with the most Fulbright Scholars in the U.S. (take that Harvard, MIT, Georgetown, and Notre Dame)

"Blah blah blah blah Notre Dame is better than Boston College blah blah Charlie Weis blah blah Jimmy Clausen blah blah Rudy."
