<p>When I was at BC, I knew a few guys that rented one of those big houses on Beacon St by the reservoir. I think that there were a few of the big houses rented out to students on the road to the Chestnut Hill MBTA stop.</p>
<p>I haven’t spent a huge amount of time on the campus in many years which is why I wasn’t sure if the problem was in Newton or Boston.</p>
<p>“Alas BC has to do this to move into Brighton as part of its ambitious ten-year plan.”</p>
<p>Mayor Menino has been pretty public about his desire for concessions for BC expanding into Boston.</p>
<p>BC has had somewhat of a rocky history with Newton in the past too. It took a major effort to get the current football stadium built. In the past, football games were a major headache in terms of traffic. Maybe they still are - I’m not a big football fan.</p>
