Tue, 2 Jan 2001 17:19:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author haozertree - While the food which BCDS provides is ok, those who are paying their meals by cash or using their card WILL feel like BC is ripping you off.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GuruGirl - One of the questions faced by incoming freshmen is where to live. Newton Campus or Upper Campus? Talking to students won't get you very far; you will find there is a strong allegiance to whichever campus the particular student happened to have lived on...

Fri, 28 Jul 2000 02:29:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author NiamhX - I attended BC for three semesters and relied on BCDS for my nutritional needs for two of those semesters. I split my time fairly evenly between all the dining halls except for Stuart, seeing as I was on main campus and Stuart is on Newton. Generally,...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ndwdn - The housing at Boston College is really very nice. Freshmen typically live in the typical dorm style housing that most colleges have. I would guess that it is better than average. Cheverus is one Freshmen dorm that is especially good as it has just been...

Thu, 25 May 2000 02:42:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ndwdn - Boston College has a lot of great things going for it. A major problem I have with the school is that they try to get as much money out of the students as possible. I'm not talking about the absorbanent tuition that many of the top schools charge today,...

Sat, 13 May 2000 02:56:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Hamilton62 - Boston College has a kind of mystique about it, especially in my field, Human Services. The mystique comes from those funky Jesuits who reside and teach there, but whom you will not see unless you are studying philosophy or

Thu, 4 May 2000 00:34:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cullentr - If you get this dorm as a sophomore, you are very lucky. If you get it as a junior, good for you. If you get Edmonds as a senior, that sucks. The current Hall director is great, and has three kids, who truly brighten up the place. We have two...
