<p>“Are there a lot of racists/ultra-conservative/close-minded people at BC? Sure, sure, I know that you’ll find them anywhere but OMG that’s the FIRST thing people tell me about BC…no bueno.”</p>
<p>I personally have not met anyone who is racist or ultra conservative. It is a Catholic school, so there are definitely conservative people, but I don’t think anyone is outright racist or demeaning. There are a lot of wealthy people who have definitely been sheltered, but I think in general people are well educated about issues. I don’t think BC is necessarily worse than other expensive private schools. I know BC is on the list for “least race/class interaction” and I have noticed that BC is very separated compared to other schools, and I don’t really know why its like that. I guess it depends who you are around.</p>
<p>“2)How much snow does Chestnut get usually, in the Winter?”</p>
<p>Well, where are you from? It usually starts to snow in December, it can snow anywhere from 2 inches to a foot. We did get a little snow in October. The snow will continue until February or March.</p>
<p>3) If I come to Boston College and there are materials that I don’t understand in my classes, am I able to request a private-peer tutoring? Does tutoring happen often on campus or in the BC Library? I want to make sure I can do well, not to make the same mistake again that I did in High School.</p>
<p>Yeah, the main library has a tutoring center where you can sign up for appointments. The tutors are grad students or qualified undergrads. I know people that go there, they have said its very helpful.</p>
