<p>Are freshmen allowed to have members of the opposite sex in their dorms? Are they allowed to stay overnight? Are you allowed to invite non-BC girls/guys to stay over night in your dorm?</p>
<p>the “real” story may be different and bronovan will know, but the official policy is that members of the opposite sex are not allowed to stay overnight in the dorms.</p>
<p>@askjeeves As stanford78 put it, freshman are indeed allowed to have the opposite sex in their dorms, but I believe there is a certain curfew that is official policy, which literally no one pays attention to. I don’t even know the curfew hour myself. I know for certain they are not allowed to stay overnight, something else that no one pays attention to. On the extremely odd and rare occasion that an RA would even find out, they would most likely do nothing. I have never actually heard of someone getting written up for this, so the answer is officially no, but technically yes =)</p>
<p>You are indeed allowed to have non-BC guests in your room, but there is again more official guidelines to it. I think you have to notify your RA and have some sort of limit, but again, no one really knows the rules / would pay attention to them if they did. Your room is essentially your domain as far as these things go!</p>
<p>Hi bronovan, just a quick question - is there badminton in BC?</p>
<p>Curfew at BC is 10 on school nights and 12 on weekends. Most dorm buildings are coed so if you have say a sister who’s visiting, they can stay on another floor usually if you have friends of the opposite sex. </p>
<p>I think you can have a guest stay over for 4 straight nights without telling your RA. That or 5.</p>
<p>Does BC superscore the ACT?</p>
<p>@VL1178 I am not sure whether or not there is badminton at BC unfortunately. I would not be surprised if there is, but I’m sure there has to be a group of students with a similar interest in badminton.</p>
<p>@Rolando4 I did not take the ACT but I looked it up online and found several sources saying that BC does in fact superscore.</p>
<p>shameless bump</p>
<p>Is a Friday 3 pm class something to worry about? I know it’s late but is it too late?</p>
<p>Bro - perhaps the need to shamelessly bump simply indicates that after 288 posts you’ve answered all the questions there are to ask.</p>
<p>@bcollegec 3 PM on Friday isn’t too bad at all. A class even that late into Friday shouldn’t interfere with anything going on that night. I wouldn’t worry about it unless it’s a class you aren’t super keen on taking. Otherwise you may risk starting the weekend early and miss it too often.</p>
<p>Do most people buy their books before getting to BC? And what kind of e-reader do most people have - Kindle or Nook?</p>
<p>Many people buy their textbooks from a third party retailer (not the BC bookstore) since it’s usually cheaper. I already have most of my books in my possession for the upcoming semester since I decided to get them before they got more popular and more expensive on Amazon. As for e-readers, I didn’t really ever notice them. Some people have iPads, outside of that, I would guess a Kindle since it’s more widely popular.</p>
<p>Hello bronovan, I am considering applying to BC for after high school (I will be a senior in HS this year) and I noticed that two of the application essays have to do with “Jesuit Ideals” and how I would use them at BC. How religious is BC? I know that 2 religion courses are required to take, but is the Jesuit culture overwhelmingly present? (ie, are there bible courses, mandatory mass/service, etc)</p>
<p>@sloanestarr812</p>
<p>There are probably “bible courses” available to take, but nothing required outside of the two religion courses, which of course can be from any religion. No mandatory masses or services, but some of the bigger ones are quite popular on campus. The Jesuit message is overwhelming present, but it’s far from a simple “God is awesome, you should be a Catholic.” The Jesuit culture is about fostering individuals to become men & women for others through service. It’s about helping people find their passions in life and then going out and spreading that passion to others. I do not identify with any religion and I do not feel uncomfortable at BC, and quite agree with the overall mission of the Jesuits.</p>
<p>And actually, upon closer inspection, none of the 4 essay choices on the supplement ask the applicant to specifically cite Jesuit ideals or how they one would put them to action.
Question 1 asks about service, applicable to anyone who has given time to help others.
Question 2 asks about missing the deeper meaning of a situation, applicable to anyone.
Question 3 asks about how time has affected one’s understanding of a past moment, applicable to anyone.
Question 4 simply asks what book do you think people should read, and why. Applicable to anyone who’s ever read a good book.</p>
<p>While these questions certainly have ties to Jesuit ideals, anyone should be able to answer them. The admissions officers are just looking for thoughtful answers.</p>
<p>Are you allowed to have a major in the College of Arts and Sciences and later decide to add a major or minor from the Carroll School of Management?</p>
<p>Do you know anything about Keyes Dorm? I think it’s on Newton and it looks a little isolated from the other newton dorms. Any info is great?</p>
<p>i’ve heard people call keyes the newton of newton hahah, but don’t worry you’ll be fine. duchesne is down the hill by itself too so don’t stress too much about the location. its not like you have to walk very far or anything. there isn’t a keyes bus stop so you get off at stuart but it’s only like a minute walk to the dorm. newton is great don’t worry</p>
