Information About Boston College

The Jesuits made Boston College in 1863 to instruct the city's essentially Catholic Irish setter people. It is a private research institution known as “The Heights” by students and faculty because of its location in the Massachusetts hamlet of Chestnut Hill. Boston College is home to among North America's earliest instances of generational gothic architecture, and it has grown to include nine schools and colleges, all of which are predominantly liberal arts. The Lynch School of Education, Boston College Law School, and the Carroll School of Management are among BC's nine schools, which offer graduate degrees.

More than 120 buildings are located on the 175-acre main campus south of downtown Boston, including eight research libraries and more than 700 academic staff members. The gothic style is exemplified by Gasson Hall, St Mary's Hall, Devlin Hall, and the Bapst Library. Boston College is a very selective college, making admission extremely tough. Roughly 31% of the approximately 29,000 applicants were approved, according to US News statistics.
