Love Those Labs! LAB lab n: LABORATORY: a place providing an opportunity for experimentation, observation or practice in a field of study. This somewhat generic term expresses what is nowadays interpreted at least a dozen different ways by BC students. Move over pre-meds — this originally esoteric concept is now expanding to include a wide and varied range of interests, from languages to computers to photography.

More importantly, the student, with the guidance of a professor, becomes his or her own instructor. What better way to learn than to do-it-yourself? — by Liz Farrelly 98 ACADEMICS
