Boston College
School full of rich white kids who drink excessively on the weekends but put in work during the week. Most of them will either become doctors (or so they think), teachers, or accountants. Spend way too much time at the gym. Everyone acts like they're failing every class but a "failing" grade to them is actually a B. Not actually in Boston but fucking gorgeous campus. Amazing hockey team, shitty football and basketball teams. No engineering school which is weird, but all in all a top tier school with an annoyingly Catholic vibe.
Every top ten kid in my rich suburban Northeast high school who didn't get into an Ivy went to either University of Virginia or Boston College.
