I “The philosophy of the school reflects a firm belief in the education of the total person. As a product of a B.C. education you have not only gained knowledge from books but you have gained knowledge from invaluable experiences.” Patty Cleary, ’82 W r An important part of the college experience is a student’s involvement in extra-curricular activities. Every activity imaginable is available. Never is a student confronted with nothing to do. Students become intensely involved: UGBC sponsored a coalition to place a student trustee on the Board of Trustees, the Heights sued the University over the issue of access to police logs, PULSE once again placed numerous volunteers in social action settings. Involvement was far from superficial. Students on the Educational Policy Committee became involved with issues concerning foreign language requirements and academic dishonesty. Sports — a major time committment commands dedication on the part of our athletes. Students counsel their peers in areas concerning career planning and resume writing, in addition to course selection. Huhdreds of events, from semi-formals to the Book Co-op are directed, organized and run by motivated students interested in education received through experience, as well as education through the classroom.

r Boston College to the casual observer seems a world apart; a campus separated from its surroundings, but nothing could be further from the truth. A strong bond ties a college to its community, and this University is connected to Boston in more ways than just through location. Boston is a resource to thousands of students. Educationally, Boston provides numerous “Hands-on” placements such as medical centers providing clinical placements for nursing students, companies offering internships to many majors, and providing classrooms in which education majors student teach. Socially, Boston provides the chance to escape campus, to enjoy a night at the theatre, or dinner at a local restaurant. In the city, students earn money through work and spend much of their pay on entertainment. Boston is a city filled with opportunities. J Park Street Church as seen from Boston Common.
