A Message from the Director

You have much to consider as you begin your college search.  You want great professors who will challenge you.  You want a variety of extracurricular offerings which will allow you to test yourself in different settings and grow through new experiences.  You want role models.  You want people who will support and encourage you to become your best self.     

Notice the word most frequently used in my first paragraph:  You.  Before you begin exploring colleges, think about yourself.  Who are you?  What do you really want from your college experience?  What kind of learning environment will suit you best?  This kind of introspection is essential if you are to identify what’s important to you.  

From a city rich in history and culture, to a campus nestled in an idyllic suburb, to a medium sized student population, to a research-oriented faculty dedicated to undergraduate teaching, to a Jesuit, Catholic identity – Boston College is distinctive.   

If these qualities resonate with you as you explore our website, I hope you will take the next step and visit our campus.  That’s the best way to discover if Boston College might be the place for you to pursue your academic and personal aspirations.  

Good luck with your college search.
