Describe your college experience

My college experience so far has been great as I have liked Boston College more and more as the years have gone by.

Tip for future students

One great thing that I feel Boston College offers is the opportunity to be extremely close to the city of Boston while being in an area that can feel suburban in some parts and is very safe.

Favorite class

My favorite class was called The Impact of News on Financial Markets. This class was an economics elective and it really intertwined economics and finance in real time as we would look at how the current events in the world affected global markets and trends.

Career goals

Currently, I am open to many different career paths, but am looking a little deeper into different analyst positions as well as real estate.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I am someone who really enjoys a fun night out with my friends, but also really enjoys to stay in and hangout around the dorms​/​house. BC offers a great diversity of students who share this opinion.

    Matt was very personable and informative, providing great insight into what it is like to be a student at BC. He answered all of our questions in detail and I would highly recommend him to any prospective BC student who wants to understand what it would be like to be a part of BC!

    Great tour and tour guide. In a short time, Matt was able to give my daughter his personal run down of BC and show her the basics of the school. Highly recommend.
