Confused about Boston College?

<p>Hi, it looks like S will be choosing BC, but I'm curious about the reputation. We're happy that it's a well-rounded school, but the words that are most commonly used in describing this school is "preppy", "rich or privileged", "athletically inclined", "party atmosphere", "easy". Yet I also hear that it's a good fit for most students which makes sense because it is about twice the size of the other schools he applied to.</p>

<p>This is a beautiful school and S is looking forward to attending, but I'm a little concerned about academics, post graduate prospects, and would like to have some insight into students that would not be happy there. Any information you could provide would be really helpful. Tia!</p>
