Each year, Boston College students flock home to visit their families for Thanksgiving Break. Food, relatives, and friends await the arrival of the BC students who will fill their loved ones in on what has happened during their semester.
I truly think Boston College’s campus was made for fall. Don’t get me wrong I love it when the temperature is high enough that students lay on the Quad, or when the first snow of the year makes Gasson look like a carefully iced gingerbread house. But, when I experienced my first Boston fall two years ago, everything in my life clicked into place.
The closure of Mount Alvernia High School, an all-girls Catholic school in Newton, provides Boston College with a rare opportunity to buy new land. The University should pursue this purchase to support its students, faculty, and any future expansion endeavors.
