Hi! How bad was orientation? Haha is it really awkward? Be honest lol prepare me for this :)

A

It’s as awkward as you make it, to be honest.  Yes, with all the strange people around it can be hard to break the ice, but I recommend taking it easy, going with the flow and keeping a positive mindset.  If you go in thinking it’s going to be “bad”, you won’t have a good time, and the point is to enjoy yourself and get a taste of what BC might be like.  Don’t worry about it!  And keep positive!

How does bc pick who stays together for the 2 nights at orientation?

A

From what I remember they pick it based on the order you arrive, so when you line up to sign in you’ll probably be rooming with the people next to you in line.  You’ll stay in suites in Vanderslice, which usually have four 2-person bedrooms, a bathroom and a living area.

Hi I am a girl going to orientation tomorrow and was wondering what I should be bringing clothing wise..? It says "comfortable clothes" but I was hoping you could assist with what else I should be packing! Thanks :)

A

You’ll be walking around quite a bit, sitting in lectures/outside, so wear something that you’ll be comfortable in for long days.  Casual dress is the norm, so whatever you might wear for a day at school or something. Also, bring athletic/workout clothes for the evening at the Plex/dodgeball game!

Welcome to the BC community, new Eagles!

Anyone from BC ‘17 have any remarks on orientation?  Or a picture of the new SuperFan slogan?

It would appear someone at BC has a knack for Photoshop :)

This information can be found on BC’s College Board profile, along with other information about admissions!  (It hasn’t been updated for the 2012-13 admissions pool, so keep that in mind—numbers are subject to change.)  Click here!

Some of the seniors in the Liturgy Arts Group at Boston College. Only been part of them for a semester but they are some of the best people I’ve met! I’ll miss them all.

Anonymous asked:

whats the student body like at bc? is mostly everyone religious, or are there a good portion of atheists? would you say people are more conservative or liberal in general? how often do you come across homophobes or racists?

A

I would say there really is something for everyone. From my own experience, it was very easy to find a Christian community on campus (I’m part of Asian Christian Fellowship), but there wasn’t a religious air surrounding the student body if that’s what you’re asking. Everyone is very open here! I would say the majority is liberal - it was a lot different than Texas, where I’m from. I have not encountered anyone homophobic or racist, and I doubt I will - the student body doesn’t look kindly on that kind of hate. Anyone else, thoughts on this?
