<p>My brother lives just down the road from the main BC campus. It is absolutely gorgeous - stunning gothic architecture and a surprising amount of green space for the location so near the city, lending a more suburban feel. BC is right off the Green Line train (B line, which is slow, though C is also nearby). But there are plenty of amenities in the Cleveland Circle area on the southeast edge of campus - bars, restaurants, banks, shopping - so you don’t have to leave the immediate area unless you want to explore.</p>
<p>The main campus is technically in Chestnut Hill, just west of Boston. But Brighton (a neighborhood of Boston) is within walking distance. The one downside I have heard about dorms is that freshmen are typically placed on the Newton campus, where the law school is located, and have to bus back & forth to classes. I’m not sure if this is due to overcrowding/expansion and due to be corrected or a long-term thing. But I’m sure a quick search will turn it up.</p>
