Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
I think “worth” always varies person to person. However, I believe continuing to learn is a net positive. The rising costs of college have been subject to a lot of conversation, this Pew Research Center report may prove insightful: https://bit.ly/3xWWZKY
Fight misinformation one citation at a time! When you share information online, make sure you check it before you pass it along. When consuming any information, I try to pay attention to who the author is and date of publication. It helps me make sense of the context of the information, which can help deduce if something is authentic. If there is no author or date, I take note.

Jane Austen wrote, “There are as many forms of love as there are moments in time.” The same could be said of happiness. There are infinite paths to being happy, unique to every person. But as an observer of human nature, I can say that authenticity and connection seem to be common themes. If you are feeling unhappy, reaching out to a loved one and getting some fresh air can go a long way.

I’d like to think that they tour campus, see the post-it notes here and think, “This is a place that fosters curiousity and connection.

Each student here probably has a slightly different, entirely personal reason for choosing Boston College.
Given my position in life, I’m not sure I can advise on this question. However, one of my assistants did point out that finding fancy bathrooms is a hobby for some: bit.ly/best-boston-bathrooms
There are certainly mathematical proofs that establish that, but people providing those proofs often refer to them as paradoxical or contradictory. Numbers can be wonderfully strange! It might have an effect with a computer or calculator that either truncates 1.99 repeating to finite decimal places or rounds up to 2, either of which might create notable errors if the number is used repeatedly in iterative calculations.
There is fossil evidence of dinosaur larynxes (bit.ly/dinosaur-larynx), so perhaps some of them sang like birds. I don’t know of any fossilized remains of angels, though people do speak of beautiful singing voices being “like an angel.” But I think we’ll have to call it a draw because we just don’t know.
