Hey all,
My name is Joe, originally from Medway, MA, and I am a freshman (woo high school… I can still feel it in my bones…) here at B.C. in the College of Arts and Sciences. Well, that’s all I have time for, I need to get back to reading Plato’s Republic (and rereading, according to my professor). Goodbye for now!
Just kidding! B.C. definitely has kept me busy, but not so much that I don’t have a couple extra minutes to talk about myself on a blog occasionally. And perhaps run down to the local ice cream parlor, soaking wet, every time it rains… but that’s a story for a different day.
So the really abbrev.ed “me”: I am double majored in music and biochemistry, taking classes of General Chemistry, Music Theory, Calculus, and Perspectives (philosophy and theology all combined into one really sweet class). I am in the Screaming Eagles Marching Band (fantastic gig, I am sure I will have a post about it later on), and hope to photograph for an on-campus magazine.
I live in Keyes, on the Newton campus, with 40% of the freshmen here at BC, and absolutely love it. If you later hear anything bad about Newton campus, disregard it immediately!
Anyway, that is my life as of yet, which I am sure will get a lot more interesting very quickly, so stay tuned! Thanks for reading this far, and please feel free to leave questions or comments or concerns or any other just heaping piles of words strung together in any legible way! I would love to be able to reply to people curious/interested in BC (or just people that have no idea what else to do).
BBFN,
~Your friendly neighborhood Joe

Sparknoting the Basics
Hey everyone! My name is Emily, and I'm from Maine. So I live in an igloo and can ride a moose.
Okay, not really. But you would be surprised at the number of people that actually believe that. It's pretty fantastic.
More seriously, though, BC is only two and a half hours or so from my home, so I can see my family pretty frequently. Or not. It's really up to me. And a very major plus side is that BC is actually consistently ten degrees warmer than home!
I'm a Math major with a French minor in the class of 2010. My current residence is Edmond's Hall down on lower campus, though I was on Upper my freshman year. Edmond's is pretty fantastic for me since it has kitchens, which allows me to bake excessive amounts. It definitely is a great de-stresser for me, and I guess for my friends who benefit from the brownies and cookies and cupcakes generated by my roommate and yours truly.
I'm involved in the Dance Organization of BC- I choreographed a number for our February show last year, and performed in it both freshman and sophomore years. This year I'll be teaching some studio classes, since I'm preparing to go abroad in January (London! I'm so excited). I've done some theater shows and I also joined a group last semester called "The CCE" ("The Committee for Creative Enactments," we've been calling it "The Committee" as of late. We do murder mystery shows- sort've like the movie Clue, only student written- and improv comedy). I also volunteer with the Student Admissions Program. I like to play Frisbee in the middle of the night, find swing sets and act like I’m five years old again, and go on random “field trips” with my friends (which often result in burritos or ice cream).
So that's the very brief version of my life at Boston College thus far! Now it's time for bed since I have to get up in ummm... far too short a time, at any rate.

Welcome!
Thank you for visiting the Boston College Student Admission Program blogs! This blog is maintained by undergraduates in the College of Arts & Sciences who have or are interested in Science majors.
If you are a prospective student who is interested in applying to one of BC's science programs, look no further! Here we try to give you a window into the life of Boston College students, who will be posting about what daily life is like on the Heights. Bookmark this page and keep coming back for more; this blog will be updated regularly by one of many of our Student Admission Program volunteers! We all have stories to share that we hope will help you determine if BC is right for you.
These blogs can be as interactive as you make them. Want to hear about a certain aspect of college life? Curious as to how we survive without home-cooked meals and laundry done for us? Ask and you shall receive. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to post them! We'll respond in our next entry as soon as we can.
Thank you so much for stopping in! If you'd like to hear more about BC, visit the official site of Boston College! You can also learn more about visiting campus and our tours and infamous Eagle Eye sessions at the SAP webpage! We'd love to have you!
Good luck!
