Boston college: social scene/urban life?

Hello! I am interested in attending Boston College. I am interested to know what the social life is like and if kids go into the city a lot.

My daughter is a freshman at BC. She says it takes a little while to figure out the best way to get to the city. In the beginning of the year she and her friends felt like there was so much going on and they were having a lot of fun on campus that they didn’t make as much effort. In the last month they have been downtown more and are really enjoying it.

I am a current senior at BC and we take advantage of being so close to Boston a lot. Three different branches of the green line are accessible from campus and splitting an Uber or Lyft into the city isn’t usually that expensive.

Boston is very fun to explore and there is always something going on!

How cool! What’s your favorite thing about going outside of campus? Any cool spots to go to?
