Located in the southwestern corner of Brighton on the edge of Chestnut Hill, Boston College offers a gorgeous campus bordering the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. The college was established in 1863 and it is a private Catholic university. The campus is a historic district, featuring several outstanding examples of gothic architecture. Flying buttresses aside, Boston College is prestigious and top-ranking. The college offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs.
The BC Eagles participate in NCAA Division I as part of the Atlantic Coast conference. The men's ice hockey team is considered one of the country's best with five national championships. Cheer on the Eagles hockey team at Kelley Rink; during football season, head to Alumni Stadium. The basketball team plays at Conte Forum, while the baseball team calls Eddie Pellagrini Diamond at John Shea Field home. The Eagles have the nation's oldest fight song, written in 1885.
Boston College is located along Commonwealth Avenue, one of the prettiest streets in Boston. The area is very walkable and bicycle-friendly, and students can often be seen walking to class. Commonwealth Avenue is also lined with MBTA stations, and residents can hop on the T at the Boston College Station and quickly reach Downtown Boston.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
