Cleveland Circle
An off-campus local BC hangout that is accessible from the BC Shuttle on the Commonwealth route. There is a movie theatre (with ridiculous prices, so be sure to get your discounted student tickets at the McElroy ticket booth), Cityside Grille, CVS, and the Eagle deli, which has great sandwiches, hardware store, pizza shop and more!
The Undergraduate Government of Boston College (UGBC)
UGBC often sponsors phenomenal lectures and community events that are of interest to all members of the BC Community. This information usually goes undetected by graduate students because no one thinks to tap into undergraduate social calendars! They have sponsored such speakers as Cornell West and Maya Angelou, and are definitely worth checking out.
Boston College Sports
BC has football, basketball, hockey, baseball, soccer, lacrosse and many other intercollegiate sporting events. Please see the Boston College Official Athletic Site for schedules and how to purchase tickets.
