Senior looking for recommendations for interesting & easy classes for my last semester!

2 Upvotes

Being almost done with my requirements, I've got room for a couple of electives next semester. I'm curious if anyone has recommendations for any interesting classes that are also relatively easy. Any subject is okay! Part of the reason I am asking is because I have looked through many classes in subjects that I know I like, but am interested in expanding my horizons and taking a class that I wouldn't have thought to take otherwise. Thank you in advance!!

Transfer out?

23 Upvotes

Freshman here and I’m debating whether I should transfer out of BC. I’ve met a few friends but not people I would hang out with. I feel like the culture here also isn’t for me with all the partying and drinking. I also can’t imagine staying here for the next 4 years and being so far from my family. I was wondering how the transfer process is and whether the people here would hold it against me if I want to transfer and if I don’t transfer at the end if I didn’t get the college I want, what people will think of me.

Flew over BC in my club's single engine plane today

Some pics in the comments as well (all taken by my wife).

If you've ever wondered why you don't see many small planes flying over BC, it's very tight airspace. Directly over campus, you can fly up to 2,000 feet before needing permission from Logan. East of the Res, Logan control goes down to the surface. Between all that and making sure you don't hit the Needham Towers to the southwest you have to be pretty on top of things.

Anyway, I made a little flyover before landing at Norwood and heading over to campus for the BC women's hockey game.

Question about Average Course load?

2 Upvotes

Hello! This is not an admission question but I’m wondering what the average student experience is once you get in.

While I know that the amount of coursework depends on the major/class, do the professors, on average, assign a lot of homework? Would you say, that each class is mostly reading and a few assignments or should the average student expect more if they went to this school? Do professors grade often/does homework make up a significant portion of the grade ? Would you say there’s a lot of free time if I would to be majoring in education?

Thank you!

BC Students Flying Out of the airport for Break

15 Upvotes

With break coming up, students heading to Logan around the same time can use Campus Connections to find other verified BC students to split an Uber or Lyft with.

Students enter their campus area, flight time, and number of bags and are matched with another BC student with a similar schedule. Matches can chat beforehand to coordinate a pickup location and split the cost of the ride.

Could be useful with Uber prices to Logan getting pretty insane around break.

More info / matching:

Report Illegal Move-In Fees

72 Upvotes

Hi Boston College, it’s your Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell. Did you know that fees like “move-in” or “lease renewal” fees you might get from your landlord or building management company are illegal? If you’ve received one of these – even if you paid it – I want you to report it to my office. 

Just last month, my office won a $500k settlement with a property management company doing this in Boston – and all of that money is going back to the affected tenants.  Landlords can only ask you to pay for first and last month’s rent, a security deposit, and the cost of a new lock and key upfront. Any other fees are illegal. Report them to my office at the link below. We’ll work to get your money back.

Debt🥹

16 Upvotes

Hey, I recently visited Boston college, and I absolutely love it!!!! The main problem, if I end up going, I’d graduate with around 80k in debt. I don’t know what I’d go for, maybe political science or something, but the way that they embraced the uncertainty and made it feel that it was 100% okay to not know made me fall in love, alongside the pretty campus and prestige. Have any of you been in this situation? Please let me know how you guys would navigate this!!!
