    Boston College Graduate Reviews

    Great for graduate school because you do not feel grouped in with the undergraduates and they respect your time more so. Great campus and easy to get around. Professors come from all different backgrounds and areas and have a lot to offer, always available to help!

    The college is beautiful and the professors are brilliant. However, as someone coming from small-college experiences with a BA and MBA, I thought BC would be a similar experience. I was able to work through my MBA as a graduate assistant with tuition remission, and I was told that I could do the same at BC: however, of all the grad assistant positions open, only ONE paid tuition remission and the others paid about $20/hour for 20 hours a week or less. BC costs over $5,000 for one class. This has been a stressful and terrifying experience to move to Boston and have to struggle through when I expected to have a grad position.
    I'm only just now starting the program in the Fall. But during my interview process and after, the faculty were extremely warm, helpful, and responsive to every email I sent and any question I had. They are truly committed to social justice, which, for me, is a plus.
