Boston College
Chestnut Hill school
Boston College is a private Catholic university in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, founded by the Jesuits in 1863.
Despite its name, it's a full research university, not a liberal arts college—the name reflects its origins.
Its athletic teams, the Eagles, compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference: BC plays Notre Dame this weekend.
