I shy away from predictions. The elements that make a winning team are complex: players with skills that complement each other, coaching staff that can inspire players and
When will the hockey team be good again? :(
Which one should I go to? Ucla or Bc
2 terrific schools to chose from. But very different. Ask yourself: do you want a huge, state university with a warm climate or a mid-sized, Catholic university with a cold climate? Which has more to offer in the fields you are interested in studying? Does the idea of a university that is committed to the formation of the whole student (BC) appeal to to you or drive you away? And., of course, which do you prefer, earthquakes or blizzards? Only you can know!
Why does Fr. Leahy hate people who aren’t white?
If your question arises from his silence following recent racist incidents, he probably believes that the appropriate people are addressing the issue. Such an approach does not reflect hate but a different way of thinking about how to respond to campus incidents. As with any communications issue, it’s always better to speak directly with the other person, so I’d suggest also asking Fr. Leahy your question.
What’s a good name for an undergraduate history journal featuring works from BC history majors?
That depends on what type of history you expect the journal to cover. Ancient Europe – maybe something greek or latin. Pre-columbian North America –
Why don’t we have snow days? That was dangerous on Tuesday. Newton Bus is a risk as is.
Well, they did cancel classes after 4:30 … Snow days are rare at Boston College, as administration considers this a residential campus. They do seem to have been more open to following city/state recommendations in the past few years though and have cancelled classes accordingly. Just wait for the next big one!
Does Fr. Leahy exist or is he a unicorn?
Preeety sure “Jesuit College President Is Actually Unicorn” and “Unicorns Really Exist” are headlines I would have seen. Also, presumably there would be more hoof prints and sparkles on the lawns.
I’m looking to find some work on campus, but everywhere I’ve looked at had been either filled or has hours I can’t work. Any ideas?
Aside from persistence & reviewing all the employment links (bit.ly/bc-student-jobs), I’m sorry to say I don’t have many bright ideas. Ask all of your professors if they need a research assistant? (That usually takes time, though, even if they do: they’d need to go through a process of getting budget approval.)
Why are so many vending machines on campus not taking IDs anymore?
The folks in Auxiliary Services said Coke is in the process of replacing all the Eagle Card readers with new ones that accept both credit cards and Eagle Cards, and that they’re about halfway through the process. If there’s a particular machine that should accept Eagle ID’s and doesn’t (accepted payments are identified with stickers), contact the vending company via the phone number on the machine. Soon, the snack company will also be updating their machines to accept Eagle IDs.
Can u tell me where’s the Fedex drop Box on campus? (I need to ship through Fedex, nothing else)
According to the FedEx website, there is a drop box outside the Cadigan Alumni Center on Brighton campus. There is also one inside Merkert: if you go in the lower level door (the door that faces Conte Forum), the box is just to the left.
Where is the O’Neill library?
Here! Or 140 Commonwealth Ave. Chestnut Hill, MA 02467 (although that’s technically all of BC). Or at plus code 8RPJ+C8 Newton, Massachusetts. Or at coordinates 42.3365389,-71.1691414. Oh. You can also find O’Neill online at library.bc.edu. Or on Twitter and IG @bclibraries (although those are also for other libraries at BC too). O’Neill is everywhere.
There are always people who chat occasionally or constantly in Quiet Zones (like the 4th floor large tables).
I’m sorry you’re encountering this problem; it must be frustrating to seek quiet spaces, and find that those spaces are not, in fact, quiet. I will let my assistants know. Thanks for making some noise about the noise!
What are the purposes of all those named “houses” on College Road? I never see them used…
Those buildings house institutes, centers, and other organizations. For instance, Faber House is the home of the Jesuit Institute, Donaldson House is where you would find the Center for Student Formation, and in Manresa House you’d find Campus Ministry. To find out more, I recommend searching house names through BC search (use the magnifying glass icon on any bc.edu page).
Could/would the Library host a poetry “read-in” in memory of the late great Mary Oliver?
I’ll have my colleagues ask around and get back to you.
The library would certainly consider providing space for such an event were someone to organize it; perhaps you could reach out to faculty in the English Dept. affiliated with the Creating Writing Seminar (bit.ly/bc-cw-seminar) or Creative Writing Concentration (bit.ly/bc-cw-concentration), or perhaps students who publish a student literary magazine such as Stylus, Epicenters or Elements. If you would like to schedule an event in library space, contact the administrative office at 617-552-4470.
Why does the BC basketball coach still have a job?
’cause 11/9 is above water and we’re still ahead of Notre Dame? Just trying to find the silver lining.
What is the secret to getting into Boston College?
It’s no real secret; it’s just become a very competitive process. You best bet is to follow the requirements (bit.ly/BC-admissions), and put good effort into your application and essays, and into choosing the teachers who will evaluate you. Wishing you all the luck!
Why can’t we get new library printers?
The library printers are only 3 years old, but with about 10 million pages printed each year at BC, it’s no wonder that the printers are getting finicky. Library and ITS staff have already started exploring which printers and print management systems will replace what we currently have.
Why is the mens bathrooms in O’Neill so disgusting? Can BC clean more often?
You are not the first to complain about the condition of my long-suffering colleagues, the bathroom walls. Crews clean them several times a day, but that doesn’t always keep up with the heavy use. Requests to have the bathrooms refinished have been put on hold pending decisions on larger renovation plans. For now, I’ll ask you to please treat the bathrooms with the respect they deserve even if they don’t always show their appreciation.
Why do I have to tour the library
Because the library is awesome? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why’s this semester so much more tiring than the last
Spring semester always seems to be rougher on humans than fall. With fall you have all the energy saved up from the summer, but spring semester starts suddenly and it tends to be cold and snowy, and that makes everything a little more physically challenging, too. Take care of yourself. Get lots of rest. Try and stay cozy and warm.
