Boston College is home to over 9,100 Eagles. Each day, so many things happen that could only happen here at BC. Each year, a new class graduates and they begin to miss the little things about Boston College that we tend to take for granted.

We’ve all seen that person who is trying to take a quick photo without people noticing, but trust me, we still notice.

6. Running into Tours at the Worst Times
Tour groups just happen to be everywhere right when you are running late. You want to be polite to show prospective students that BC kids are smart, intelligent, and well-mannered people, but you also have to take an exam in five minutes…
