15 Reasons Why You Should Not Attend Boston College

The above photo should be enough to repulse you.

15 Reasons Why You Should Not Attend Boston College

1. Our campus is absolutely hideous and not Instagrammable whatsoever. I don’t even remember the name of that really famous building. Garson Hall? Gaston? Something like that.

2. Seriously, it’s even uglier during springtime. Ugh.


3. Professors don’t care at all about your wellbeing or your growth as an intellectual and human being generally. They are never available to talk further about something mentioned in class and surely won’t serve as mentors to you.

4. There is NOTHING to do in Boston. You enjoy art? Don’t even consider the MFA. How about sports? Sorry, Boston doesn’t have an entire street dedicated to the Red Sox, that would just be silly! You like history? Well good luck, because there is no history around here. What about the Boston Tea Party, you ask? Please, it’s not as if that was even a key event for the American Revolution…

5. The tailgates are not fun at all. Don’t go.

6. Our school has no spirit when it comes to football (who is Doug Flutie???) or hockey games. Nobody enjoys talking smack about our rivalry teams, either.

7. There is nowhere peaceful to study. Bapst is incredibly loud, and does not resemble Hogwarts whatsoever. Who would want to study in a place like this?

8. If you have a passion or hobby you want to pursue in your extracurriculars, there probably isn’t a club for it. There are only over 200 clubs on campus, ranging from athletics to student government to service. How dreadful.


9. Don’t even get me started on the Jesuits. Men and women for others? Being attentive, reflective, and loving? Come on, wouldn’t you just rather go to a school, get your degree, and get out of there?


10. You’ll never have a deep and meaningful conversation with another student on campus. Boston College students have a tendency to be passionate, curious, and more than willing to better society. Isn’t that terrible?


11. We don’t have Greek life. How have we survived?! This is a mystery to all BC students. Statistics have unfortunately proven that for every day that passes at BC without sororities and fraternities, a butterfly loses its wings.


12. Since Boston College is so young (it was founded in 1863 – how cute), it has very little tradition. For instance, most seniors want to live off campus instead of going for the mods because senior housing on campus is lame and nothing fun ever happens in a mod. Additionally, ResLife is totally ready to tear those down; all the alumni that lived there will be glad to know their mod has been demolished.


13. The snacks in the Chocolate Bar are not satisfying whatsoever. I’ve never had one of those life-changing, spiritually awakening moments after eating one of their special Oreo treats.


14. Speaking of food, most students rarely go to Late Night. There is an especially low attendance on the weekends. The last thing we need on a Friday night is a serving of mozz sticks, am I right?


15. You’ll never truly have that “home away from home” feeling. From orientation to graduation, there is a slim chance you will make lifelong friendships and leave BC a more well rounded person.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
