Boston College

Boston College sits on a hill in Chestnut Hill, just outside Boston, with a Gothic campus and views of the city skyline. As a Jesuit school, it emphasizes service and the idea of being 'men and women for others,' and students take a Core curriculum that includes philosophy and theology. Strong programs include business at Carroll, education and nursing. BC is a good fit for students who want strong academics, school spirit (Doug Flutie's 1984 Hail Mary is campus legend) and the Boston area.
