How is college? – The Answer Wall

Judging from what I see posted here, it can be stressful at times. There are ways to be proactive and manage the stress points. The Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) has both peer tutoring and academic coaching, which can help with academic stress, and the Office of Health Promotion (bit.ly/BostonCollegeHealth) can set you up with wellness coaching, which can give you tools to deal with the other sorts of stress.

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.
