Boston College has earned a spot on a scientifically calculated list that highlights the colleges best using social media such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. 

The StudentAdvisor.com “Top 100 Social Media Colleges” is based on a mathematical algorithm that “quantifies the social media footprint of each college and university in the United States,” according to the website. Owned by the Washington Post, StudentAdvisor.com offers free access to trusted college conversations, college reviews, college comparison and match tools, planning guides and other resources.

BC’s social media presence is directed by the Office of News & Public Affairs.
