<p>General Question: Do they wave your first 3 years of housing or are you required to live on campus the first three years? I couldn't understand through the application</p>

<p>hockey12 - The acceptance package will state that you have three or four years of housing. If you have 3 years, the junior year is the year you live off campus. Junior year is chosen because that is the year that many students go abroad. Housing costs in the Boston area are very expensive, so for that reason alone, you want to stay on campus. It is kind of the accepted practice. I'm not sure if it is an absolute requirement that you live on campus, but it is what everyone seems to do. Hope this answers your question. Congratulations on your acceptance.</p>

<p>i'm from texas...should i be worried if i havent heard?</p>

<p>do you have to apply for the honors program or do they just give it to you</p>

<p>the honors program is offered to the top 5% of applicants; no application is required</p>

<p>I got into the school of management today and was wondering, how hard is it to get into compared to the other schools? ne1 know? thanks</p>

<p>also, how are the dorms at bc?</p>

<p>the dorms vary but the typical freshman room is a basic double and it seemed to me to be more or less the same size as doubles at other universities.</p>

<p>ACCEPTED Arts and Science Honors Program! From Long Island</p>

<p>i got into the honors program for the college of arts and sciences, and i cant find anywhere in my acceptance package the amount of housing im going to receive, where is it??</p>

<p>Accepted with honors and some $$ today. About ****ing time.. BC was really annoying me with its snail mail-only notification system and releasing their decisions throughout a week.</p>

<p>Neways, congrats to everyone who got in!</p>

<p>ACCEPTED!!</p>

<p>I didn't get my letter until yesterday; and the mailman came to my door with a huge letter and I went to go get it, saw the Boston and flipped out!</p>

<p>It's defintely my second choice school, second only to Brown, but I don't find out about that until Thursday...</p>

<p>so however it works out, congratulations to everyone!!!</p>

<p>The letter came yesterday! I was accepted to honors program at the College of Arts and Sciences with a good bit of money. </p>
