<p>especially in political science/ communications?</p>
<p>Not in political science. The department is VERY small, (one guy i know wants to transfer out to a school like gtown because of BC's lack of a poly scie dept) your better off at a differnet school, esp one thats around the DC area.. or other big city metro areas. Furthermore, communications isnt a real major, its an easy way out. It seems as if something along the lines of buisness would be right for you. Apply to the Caroll school, and fyi, in my opinion/findings BC is ALOT more famous for athletics than anything else. Its always confused with BU, although it has strong connections with alumni.</p>
<p>you cant say its confused with BU because BC is actually a better school- harder to get into, ranked higher....</p>
<p>more accurate would be to say that BU is confused with BC</p>
<p>Yes BC is harder to get into and higher ranked, but speaking from personal experience I would tell people that I'm going to BC, and everyone thinks that im going to BU.</p>

<p>Though you may view BC's poli-sci depatment as small BC overall has a reputation as a school that produces a lot of politicians. Additionally they also have a lot of children of politicians.</p>
<p>Famous examples are Tip O'Neill, the former speaker of the house, Maurice Tobin, former govenor of MA and former US secretary of Labor, Ed King, former govenor of MA, Paul Cellucci former govenor of MA and John Kerry, current junior Senator from the state of MA and most recently the Democratic nominee for the presidency.</p>
<p>john kerry went to bc for law school; he was not an undergraduate student in the poli-sci department there</p>
<p>Polo,</p>
<p>While what you say is true most also say that Bill Clinton went to Yale, though that was only for Law School. Of course he went to Georgtown as an undergrad but that point is not made as often as him going to Yale.</p>
<p>My point is that BC has produced a number of politicians and also has a significant number of children of politicians.</p>
<p>BTW, what is up with the whole Condi Rice situation? At least one Professor has resigned over her speaking at graduation. See:</p>
<p>yeah, i heard about this. a lot of kids at bc don't want codelezza rice to come to their comencement to speak or recieve the honorary doctorate. so they started a petition and everything, but looks like they need to keep her now.</p>
<p>Tim Russert's son is at BC now.</p>

<p>what does that mean?</p>
<p>It means that communication is a 701 major. There arnt that many hard classes and the classes you take are BS and you do well in them. I have learned this through various sources, (including Guidance counselor). Check this book out, the title speaks for itself: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525949399/ref=pd_sim_b_3/002-2051670-3232003?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=283155%5B/url%5D">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525949399/ref=pd_sim_b_3/002-2051670-3232003?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=283155</a></p>
<p>haha i have that book. i just never really knew what majoring in communications implied.</p>
<p>Majoring in Communications AT BC, isnt a real major. Some schools have legitimate programs. At BC you take a bunch of bible classes and history classes, then you take 2 writing classes and they call that communications.</p>
<p>Wow, Chris, who pi$$ed in your Cheerios? Why don't you check back in when you've sobered up.</p>
<p>I would agree...one of my sisters went to BU and the other BC. There was absolutely no confusion between 2 schools. They are completely different.</p>
