Which school is better? BC or WFU?

They’re so close in ranking (36 and 28, respectively) that you’d have to differentiate on features you prefer. BC is bigger, 9 miles from downtown Boston, and Jesuit. Wake Forest is somewhat smaller, 3 miles from downtown Winston-Salem, NC and nonreligious (historically Baptist). There is no Answer Wall at WFU. I recommend visiting both and attending info sessions online and in person to figure out which is more suitable for you, personally.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
