BC student body

<p>What are the students who go to bc like??? Ive heard they’re all rich and preppy and i’m worried I won’t fit in with that crowd</p>

<p>I've answered this question to another student, so I'm just going to paste the same thing here.</p>

<p>"Fellow students"
As of yet, I have not found one person I wish God would un-born them (if that makes sense). As with any schools, there are morons running around, but thank god they are of the smallest of minority. Most of the people here are very relaxed and friendly. They are very nice and socializing is very easy at the Quad area. During the fall, everyone is there hanging around, lying on the cool green grass, and believe me, you will bump into at least 5 people you know. </p>

<p>"student body. (White, rich, and snobby.) "
White? Yes
Rich? Yes (good number, but not majority)
Snobby? No (few)
BC still has someway to go with its racial diversity, but as a student of color and a non-religious person, I am extremely comfortable here. Most people here are well-off and they do dress nice, but that doesn't mean they are snob. Since BC has such a strong, and I mean STRONG, service mentality, students are constantly giving back to the community or travel to other places and do community service. Service trips humble people really fast. Teachers almost always know when a service or spiritual trip (not the one where they convert you) is coming up because they will miss a bunch of their students, and they have to arrange their schedule around it. Happen to me in a few classes.</p>

<p>P.S.
There is a pretty diverse crowd running at BC; you will find your rich, white republican, your other-worldly sage, your angry-hippie-protester-self-righteous-crazy-liberal, your bubble girl, your serious nerd. The adminstrator is conservative-leaning, the professors are insanely liberal (minus the econ department), the Jesuit...well...they are just crazy/liberal/crazy/fun, and the student body is central, but left-leaning.</p>

<p>Remember, BC is a Jesuit school, and up until the 70s, women were only admitted to the education and nursing schools....I don't think Catholic colleges are known for their diversity, but I am a grad student at BC, and there are many, many international students in my program (education/psychology). I've had several Jewish or Asian professors, and BC seems to be making a concerted effort to diversify its student body. It's a great school overall.</p>
