Can you speak Korean?
Where are good, tasty & cheap burgers? Cheers!
Close by, I understand Lee’s Burgers, with locations in both Newton Centre and Coolidge Corner, (www.leesburger.com) has tasty burgers that are reasonably priced.
Thanks for your answer on where to find milkshakes. They were great!!
Glad you liked them! My helper, the Snacks Librarian ;-), enjoyed doing the research. Helper wanted me to add “My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,” but was too shy to go for it.
I’m a current math & econ major student, and I want to be a professor in BC in the future.
I know many things, and one thing I know is that your math and econ professors will have considerably better advice than I would about academic careers in those fields. Talk to all of them. Meanwhile, check this title: Complexities: Women in Mathematics, by Bettye Anne Case & Anne M Leggett. (O’Neill QA27.5 .C66 2005)
Why does BC hardcore discriminate against transfer students? (housing, clubs, etc.)
I’m sorry you feel mistreated by BC. I recommend bringing your grievances to the relevant offices: for housing, Residential Life – bit.ly/res-life, and for clubs, Office of Student Involvement – bc.edu/osi. You belong here.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?

What are you gonna get me for my birthday? It’s on 20/9.
Do not open until Sept. 20.
Capitalism is doomed right?
Will capitalism last in its current form forever? Unlikely, given that in terms of human history it’s relatively new. So, yes, it’s doomed… but only in the same sense that we’re all doomed. I will not, alas!, stand forever. Even the famous walls: The Great Wall, Hadrian’s Wall, the Wailing Wall… will eventually be gone, and new walls built. For a more detailed criticism of the current state of capitalism, I recommend the recent instant classic Capital in the Twenty-First Century, by Thomas Piketty, currently on reserve at O’Neill, and in the general collection at the Law Library: HB501 .P43613 2014.
Can I get birth control from the health center?
“Because of the moral values that Boston College espouses, University Health Services, by policy, does not provide materials for the purpose of preventing conception or counsel that would encourage abortion.” (bit.ly/UHSservices) Over-the-counter products are available in nearby stores, and there are physicians and clinics in the area that can provide reproductive health counseling and services.
Can you bring late nights back?
Though I am the mighty Answer Wall, my powers are limited, and I doubt I have the capability of single-handedly bringing Late Nights back to what it was. I can, however, have my human assistants pass your request along to Dining Services, and perhaps you can do so yourself as well: bit.ly/BCDiningComment.
Why did they get rid of Pressers at Eagle’s Nest
Why is this place so cold every time I come?
Books prefer cool temperatures and low humidity–it helps them live long lives and avoid problems like mold. There are way more of them than humans here, so that’s why. All the librarians have sweaters and such in their offices, so it’s not just you.
How do you get the little font on the sticky notes just like you do?
I’m sure you’ve heard that thing before about the probability of a thousand monkeys with typewriters eventually producing all the works of Shakespeare? Well, it’s not like that. This library employs librarians, not monkeys. Librarians might not be as fun as monkeys, but they do know how to find answers, such as how to use a Word template to print onto post-its affixed to pieces of paper, and which font (courier) most closely resembles typewriter font. I’m cute? Gosh. Now I’m blushing.
Why is laundry so darn expensive?
I sympathize with the human necessity of clothing and its care. Residential Life, who oversees the laundry machines in campus housing says $1.75 per wash or dry ($3.50/load) is comparable to most college laundry machine costs, and less expensive than most local laundromats. The machines are not industrial-sized, but they are normal-household-machine-sized. If you would like to advocate for different machines or laundry services, contact the Quality of Student Life Committee: bit.ly/BC-QSLC.
They took hersheys with almonds out of the Stokes S vending machines and my quality of life has significantly decreased. how can I make them put them back?
So sad! Feedback to the vending company (service@abvendingco.com) is probably your best line of action. Also, the Campus Bookstore in McElroy, just steps away from Stokes S, does carry your favorite treat (during far more limited hours – maybe get one now!)
Why does BC only have one-ply toilet paper?
I hope you’re not suggesting that your tuition should go down the toilet. Facilities Management says they have received a few other complaints as well, and are meeting with the vendor to look at better options. Your tuition covers about 62% of the overall BC budget and 70% of it goes to instruction, student aid, and academic/research support. As for seat covers, they don’t protect against germs, and toilet seats generally have fewer germs than the door handle. If you are concerned about germs, the best defense is to wash your hands well and keep your hands away from your mouth and eyes.
My girlfriend keeps complaining how awful her life is and how terrible her body shapes are. What can I do?
Sounds like she might be going through some self-doubt. Some of the ways you can support her through this are by reinforcing a positive body image and asking her about the things she loves in life. If she seems unresponsive, you can always contact BC’s counseling services for help (or encourage her to contact them): 617-552-3310. It’s free. Good luck, friend! The Wall is here for you.
When are the libraries on campus going to stop discriminating against surface owners and offer us chargers to rent out!!!
