How will the tariffs affect BC tuition?

There are a lot of things going on right now that could possibly affect BC’s budget: tariffs, holds on funding at Ivy League schools, changes in federal research funding, changes in the safety of being a grad student on a visa in the US. However, tuition has already been set for 2025-2026. It increases 3.5%, to $72,180. BC continues to promise to meet 100% of demonstrated need for US students, and raised financial aid 7.5%. bit.ly/bc-tuition

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.
