FB94 CAMPUS NETWORK ELEMENTS Boston College Fact Book, 1993-1994 Contact: factbook@bc.edu Date Posted: Apr 7 1995 ================================================================ NOTE: Due to the width of this table in the printed edition of the Fact Book and the limited width that Gopher can display legibly on the screen, the right half of this table has been separated and is shown below the left half (after the row of plus signs (+++++)). The two halves of the table can be easily reassembled in a spreadsheet program if desired. For instructions on how to do this, see the folder "Moving Fact Book Tables to MS Excel" in the main menu of the Gopher edition of the BC Fact Book.

The eleven current sites are: Main Campus, Newton Campus, St. Clement's Hall, Weston Observatory, New York offices, Bedford offices, 1380 Soldiers Field Road, and the four Social Work satellite campuses (Springfield, MA; Paxton, MA; Plymouth, MA; and Portland, ME). ** To New York City and Washington, D.C., etc. Note: All statistics are reported as of the end of the fiscal year indicated.
