A university (not college) located outside just outside of Boston where only 95% of the stereotypes regarding the student body and the Jesuit administration are true.
Boston College basketball player, "Come'on I have to get to my bookie so I can lay $50 on us to cover the spread on Sat."
Boston College student, "Dude, I can't believe that your not popping up that collar on the Lacoste polo."
Boston College administrator, "We believe in supporting all lifestyles even those of people who are going to burn in hell or spend eternity in purgatory."

A school where Bostonians are in a catch-22: They want to see a local college do well and compete in division one athletics, but since the school is comprised of douchebags, they secretly rejoice in BC's constant failures.

"I went out on a date with this guy wearing a "salmon" polo shirt with the collar popped, and he took me to the Cheesecake Factory. After sipping my lemonade, I felt weird, and woke up in his dorm room without my dignity. I then realized he was enrolled at Boston College."

Boston College is a Jesuit university located in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, about 5 mi. west of Boston. It is neither a college nor located in Boston.
Ranked as a Top 40 university according to USNews, Boston College has a positive reputation in the New England area, although many detractors are often keen to observe that Boston College, despite its academic aspirations, is far from being on the same academic level as its neighbor Harvard University.
Boston College is one of the most selective universities in the nation, but according to most metrics not necessarily one of the best. Each year thousands of prospective students apply for admission at Boston College, but only less than 10% are admitted. While Boston College is sometimes perceived as a popular destination for Ivy League rejects, many accepted students choose Boston College because they really want to be there.
Boston College students are often stereotyped as being white, rich, preppy, athletic, physically attractive, party animals, spoiled and snotty. Not all Boston College students fit that criteria, but stereotypes usually form over a period of time for a reason.
Some people believe that many Boston College students suffer from an inferiority complex, as demonstrated by their desire to negatively compare Boston University to Boston College. Their inferiority complex, if they have one, might stem from the fact that they haven't got over their failure to gain acceptance to Ivy League schools.

a.k.a. "Backup College" A school for wealthy, spoiled children who couldn't get into any of the following schools: MIT, Harvard, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Bunker Hill Community College. Located about as far away from Boston as a school could be while still having the word Boston in its title, BC is known for unattractive women, effeminate men, and a second-rate faculty. They're also known to advertise their football program up and down Massachusetts and Commonwealth Avenues because they can't fill their 45,000 seat stadium. By all measures, Boston College sucks.

An overrated overpriced college on the outskirts of Boston. The majority of students are incapable of creating their own thoughts and if confronted with a difficult question or disagreement will immediately revert to sputtering out approximations of their parents' or priests' opinions.
*I currently attend so this is written in pure frustration with no undertones of aggravation about failed admission or any other irrelevant grievance.
On a positive note: BC is possibly home to the most easily earned 4.0 gpa in the country....

You're sputtering out priests' opinions with little/no idea what you're saying so you would do well at Boston College.

Bill has been on the Notre Dame waiting list for four years, and has given up all hope of getting in. Luckily, Bill is a stupid prick, so he has been very happy at Boston College.
