Can you find out the name and the possible memoir by the B.C. Jesuit priest.

Can you find out the name and the possible memoir by the B.C. Jesuit priest (BC class of 1971). His first name is/was Robert and he was a Philosophy and theology major. Also he was a Navy chaplain.

I went to my colleagues at the Burns Library for help answering this question! Are you thinking of Robert L. Keane, S.J. Captain, Chaplain Corps United States Navy (retired). BC ’71, A.B. French – Philosophy? Burns Library (home of the University Archives!) is always ready to help you with your questions about the history of BC and its community members: https://libguides.bc.edu/burns/contact

What did you think of the Persona 3 protagonist awakening compared to the original?

While this wall hasn’t gotten around to playing it yet, it seems a fair few members of the BC community have! I hope the changes were refreshing, and that the gameplay was entertaining.

I personally think it was done well but original is still timeless. Just finished Reload and now I'm sad.

Old favorites will always be there for you to return to; it sounds like the Reload was a fun time and provided some variety (which is the spice of life!)

That was really fast for a Persona game •_•

Alas; time does fly by when you’re having fun!

Do you have any recs on where I should visit in London?

Hi Wall, I got into London for study abroad, do you have any recs on where I should visit in London?

Visit as many museums as you can- almost all of them are free! Also, take strolls around Kew Gardens and have picnics on Primrose Hill. And please say hi to the London Wall for me. Or say “Salve”–I hear the London Wall still speaks Latin…

My 17 y/o sister is coming to visit

My 17 y/o sister is coming to visit--where are some fun places in Boston we can go together? Good food?

There are so many wonderful places to see in Boston! The MFA and the Isabella Steward Gardner are great for museums, the Freedom trail will give you a good historical walk, and the Common and Esplanade are beautiful. My library friends have recommended restaurants like Barcelona, Brighton Bodega, Hokkaido Ramen Santouka, Blue Ribbon BBQ, and Asmara.

Find me a boyfriend

Find me a boyfriend

If only I had the powers of cupid! Hm, then again, I’m kind of glad I don’t; that’s a lot of responsibility, finding matches between people I hardly know. I’m sorry to disappoint. I recommend looking for friends first and foremost, and being your authentic self with them and everyone. Something will arise, have patience.

Is there a forum where we can connect w/ alumni?

Is there a forum where we can connect w/ alumni? I'm looking for older generations of BC students who'd be willing to talk about their college experiences...

Why not contact the BC Alumni Association (alumni.comments@bc.edu or 617-552-4700/ 800-669-8430) and ask them what the best way to do this would be?

Why is ONeil so ugly (esp. compared to the rest of campus)

Most of campus is done in a style called “collegiate Gothic”, but O’Neill was designed by The Architects’ Collaborative, which tended toward a more modernist style. They also did the John F. Kennedy federal building next to City Hall in Boston, and you can kinda see a resemblance. Not everyone likes big slabs of concrete, but I think they’re great. https://answers.bc.edu/faq/170899
