<p>LOL. I went to Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS) and rarely do I even have enough time to run across Harvard yard to get Felipe’s for lunch 
The lines during lunch time are long and I usually come back very late lol. It’s so good! CRLS is two blocks away from Harvard yard/square btw LOL</p>
<p>Belmont High… very nice :)</p>
<p>haha I don’t live on Belmont Hill, that’s where all the rich people live (and that Belmont Hill School which you pay college tuition to go to :p)</p>
<p>I know where Cambridge Rindge and Latin is, it’s right next to Harvard</p>
<p>I cannot believe you go cross city just to get a burrito. LOL. wow. That is very very impressive. 
How do you manage to get back in time? Teachers must not even notice… lol</p>
<p>well on Wednesdays my last class ends at 12:09 and I have senior priviledges so that’s how I get it done :)</p>
<p>Are there Chipotle restaurants in Boston?</p>
<p>missyujin, there’s a Chipotle in Harvard Square and I’m sure there are others too</p>
<p>I love Chipotle too :)</p>
<p>Sweet. :] That’s enough Mexican food for me. lol</p>
<p>Yeah, but none of the places mentioned (Anna’s, Felipe’s, and Chipotle which is a chain) offers anything authentic. Basically, the only thing good about these places is the price, but you definitely get what you pay for.</p>
<p>Berc all the way. there both great schools I just like cali more</p>
<p>WHOA!!! BC over BERK??? NOOOOO lol. Anyways Berk is my dream school and well califonia is better than boston. Boston is a little overrated after a year you will get over it. BUT BERK!!! = (</p>
<p>no way Boston is overrated, greatest city in the US other than New York and DC
San Francisco and LA can’t compare to Boston :)</p>
<p>I am from boston and love it but honestly i think people hype it up but UC Berk + Cal location > Boston +BC by about a mile. This is not debatable!</p>
<p>I don’t think people hype up Boston, NYC seems to be far more popular on CC</p>
<p>Honestly, I would choose Boston over the Bay Area any day. But it is all a matter of taste. Personally, I’m more of a Chicago kind of guy.</p>
<p>Superstar, talk about “hyping it up”…Berkeley for undergrad? This isn’t the 1960s any more. The OP is Asian and from California. She wants to see something new. Flower children, pretentious street performers, and Nobel Prize winners whom you’ll never see don’t add up to an unbeatable combination. There’s a Socialist in the White House, so this should be a down period for those who want to major in picket signs.</p>
<p>Schmaltz what are you talking about in no way shape or form am i discrediting BC. Honestly though if you think BC academics is on par with Cal you are dreaming. BC is an awesome school but academically it is in no way shape or form comparable to CAL. You also make it sound like Berkeley for undergrad is a bad thing? are you really saying that BC is equal? because in just about every major Berkely will trump BC and this is concrete fact. If you can prove other wise I would like you to share.</p>
<p>You’re a little late to the party, superstar. I agree UCB has a more legendary faculty, but the OP is studying English and the trade-off being incredible access to the excellent BC English faculty and small classes. You can’t tell me the English profs at UCB are going to teach her something in 2 years that the BC profs aren’t going to know.</p>
<p>If it was undergrad math or an English PhD program, it might be another story.</p>
<p>Plus, she’s 17 and would be a junior transfer at UCB. How’d you like to jump into UCB and the off-campus housing market as a 17 y.o. junior transfer?</p>
<p>Hmm i find it hard that it would be easier at BC considering the fact she has never visited the campus and shes about 3000 miles away from home. I would’ve stayed in state close to home and if Cal wasn’t a good fit im sure transferring to BC would be alot easier than a BC student trying to transfer into CAL. I haven’t read the whole thread yet but i doubt Cal would be more expensive than BC out of state. For me atleast the clear decision would have been Berkeley. BC is great and all but this would’ve been my decision. But its not…please correct me if im wrong but from my recollection BC is not the most diverse of campuses. Shmaltz please don’t look at this as if i were discrediting BC, its a great school, but i have a thing for CAL lol</p>
<p>stop playng the “this school isn’t diverse” card because you’ve been wrong about Brandeis and BC</p>
<p>Boston College:
African American - 6%
Asian - 10%
Hispanic - 8%
International - 2%</p>
<p>If Wake Forest is diverse for you and BC isn’t, I don’t know what school is diverse.</p>
<p>Superstar, maybe you should take 10 minutes and read the whole thread.</p>
<p>“Diversity” is a nice decriptive word, but it doesn’t come loaded with value. If diversity were king, California would be ruling the world instead of having a fire sale to pay the bills.</p>
<p>Transferring to BC will be a LOT easier transition than going to UCB. She’ll almost certainly get on-campus housing, the campus is very compact and safe, and the student body is very tightly knit. Classes are small and professors actually have plenty of time for undergrads. There are also minimal distractions (nobody thinking it’s creative to walk around the streets naked, nobody trying to protest the lack of left-handed Martians in the Astronomy Dept., etc.).</p>
<p>Superstar, here’s a link to BC’s English faculty… <a href=“http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/english/faculty/facalpha.html[/url]”>http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/english/faculty/facalpha.html</a> I went through a few of them and they all seemed to have PhDs from places like Princeton and Harvard and Chicago. None of them peaked at Bunker Hill Community College like you probably think they did.</p>
