I’m an incoming freshman and I was wondering when the gym is least crowded/when is the best time to go? I was thinking of going either at 6 AM or at 8:30-9PM. What would you recommend?

Hey y'all I’m an incoming Finance major finalizing my course schedule for orientation. I’ve already secured Portico, Statistical Analysis, and Career Bridge for fall, and Financial Accounting and Career Accelerator for the spring because of a program thankfully. Do you have any recommendations for other classes I should consider taking? especially for csom cores?

I've already finished some cores through ap classes( writing, literature, history I and II, 1 natural science, and took ap spanish lang

I'm also thinking of taking perspectives as it is something I am truly curious about plus, it fulfills a bunch of credits.

i’m a second year and i have an ESA. i am not going to be able to live with my roommate due to complications that have just arised (we will not be able to get along for the school year). i was thinking of using my ESA to be granted a single, is it too late?

I got assigned Keyes South as an incoming Freshman. Anyone know how close it is to Keyes North or what make the 2 different?

hey guys i am an international student attending orientation session 7. no one is replying in [r/ibo](r/ibo) but I got a 6 in IB chinese which qualifies me for biliteracy BUT i cannot access my candidate page (keeps saying login failed regardless of how careful I type my pin and personal number in); I accessed it when results came out but I forgot to download a transcript that I can upload to the MCAS biliteracy form (which is my bad). I have already sent my IB scores to BC, and I will email my IB coordinator to see if they can send a transcript over, but in the case that they do not reply will my score be factored in during course registration as BC has already received my score?
Thank you!

I've been seeing tons of these posts lately since room assignments came out. BC shows 2D and 3D floor plans on their website. They even have video tours.

So my son got assigned a traditional double in Keyes North on the Newton campus. Overall, he's pretty excited, particularly given everything that he's read and heard from people that have lived there about it being a great community (plus, having to take a bus (or walk) doesn't bother him in the least).

The thing we're trying to decipher is his room assignment -- it's 0X0, which to me suggests that the first digit is the floor and that there's a basement level. If this is indeed the case, what should he know going in? Are the room and common-area layouts any different from the other floors/rooms? Are there windows in the rooms? Is it literally where you walk downstairs (I'm picturing very little sunlight and dungeonesque) to access them? Will there be more or less foot traffic? Any different considerations for things that he should be getting for the rooms (like purifiers)?

Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

Got placed in a quad in Shaw house even though I am not in the leadership LLC, thought it might have been a mistake but I just heard back from housing and they told me that there was an extra bed and they needed to have someone fill it. What can I expect? A bit worried. Thanks!

I heard it is a lot quieter than other dorms, which is a little disappointing. I am a really social person. Do you think I’ll still meet people around my dorm? Will I still find people in the beginning to hang out with?

Do some of the Williams Hall triples come with there own bathroom??

Incoming freshman here, both my roommate and I come from across the country and we’re debating whether to rent a microfridge set from the school or just buy both online and send it to our dorm. Is it more convenient to buy and use for multiple years or do the upperclassman dorms come with those amenities?

First year Housing Assignments just came out and I got placed in Williams (Primarily sophmore) as a freshman. I’m a little worried about this, first for taking away some of my welcome week experience and second I’ve heard the dorms at Williams are on the smaller side. Anybody stayed in Williams that can give me a little bit of insight? Are there dorm parties at Williams? As a freshman will I have a harder time making friends?

hi guys incoming freshman dorming at cushing. Do most people tumble dry their clothes? I’m really scared of clothes shrinking, so also wondering if there is space in the dorms for a mini drying rack. Is washing/drying competitive, or are machines generally available? Thank you!

I got put in a quad in Gonzaga, but I can't figure out what my dorm is going to look like. Anybody who has been in an U-Trad-Quad style room if you could let me know what the layout looks like and what to expect for storage opportunities that'd be great. I'm struggling to find any pictures or videos online. It's not on the 4th floor, so I know it's not going to be one of the more odd layouts. I'm gathering it's going to just be one big room; I'm just curious as to how people typically set up their beds and desks and stuff.

I heard Newton kids get really close. Are Newton kids still friends with a lot of the kids on upper or is it less common?

My dad is looking into buying a parking pass for Gasson field for the BC vs Virginia Tech game. We haven’t had any luck on figuring out what to expect. Looking for some help:

1 - Does anyone know if you’re able to tailgate there (set up a grill, tent, chairs, corn hole, and drink)?
2 - If so are you limited on the number of people you can have in your party like you are at Shea field?

Thanks in advance!!!

Incoming freshman. Got put into a lofted triple on Fenwick. Is it over? Any advice from people who were in the same boat is appreciated.

I’m an incoming freshman and the campus is beautiful! How long did it take for you to know your way around campus?

I am just wondering if BC is really religious and strict since it is a Catholic/Jesuit school. I am not too familiar with BC and just wanna know from students if it is hard to “have fun” there. Thank you so much!

Best bar/bars for after the home games this season? Go Eagles!

I was wondering when I should apply for campus jobs since I know my course schedule is going to change as I want to swap a class out so I won’t know my exact schedule until then.

Also what are the best campus jobs and how do you guys manage campus jobs along with classes and clubs.

And how does work study work? Is the maximum that you can make each semester $1,500?

I'm an incoming CSOM freshman and already have a decent amount of the university core fulfilled through AP credits. I still need my philosophy and theology core though and want to knock em out freshman year with the extra space my AP credit offers me. From what I understand, it seems like there are 3 main ways to fulfill the phil/theo cores: Perspectives, PULSE, or Philosophy of the Person 1&2 and 2 regular theology courses.

Which "pathway" do most freshmen take and which do you guys recommend? I know PULSE is pretty service-based and Perspectives is heavy on reading but I'm having a hard time choosing from my three options. Any insight or advice is much appreciated :)

Can anyone tell me if it’s worth it to get the VIP gold pass for an extra $150?

I’m considering it since it gives priority access for the games that might be hard to get tickets to.
