Welcome to the Office of First Year Experience. We are here to help all first year students transition into the intellectual, social, and cultural community of Boston College.

   

48Hours is open to all first-year students interested in finding ways to maximize their college experience. Step off campus for a weekend and hear from juniors and seniors about their transitions to BC.

The Compass Mentoring Program provides a supportive community for first-year AHANA+ students by connecting them with mentors during weekend retreats, small group meetings, and social events.

Connect, in-person, with classmates through First Year Lunch. We will provide you with a lunch, a discussion guide, and four classmates—the rest is up to you!

We hope the next four years will be filled with new friendships, learning experiences, and personal growth. As you enter this exciting new phase, know that the Boston College community is here to support you, in your first year and beyond.
