You need a plug converter from 110 to 230 V. If your appliance is more than 50W in power, there is chance that the adaptator is more expensive than the appliance itself.

“Boston College a Liberal Arts Education with Jesuit Values”

Matthew A

United States, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2019

Overall

Boston College is a university in the south of Boston city center (About 20 minutes) it is a place where students are expected to develop a set of skills that should make them able to change the world in a positive way. This is important because BC offers the 'Jesuit' values track that supposedly sets it apart from all its counterparts in the North East.

The academic structure is extremely rigorous and students often struggle at some point of their four year experience, however, students are also offered a myriad of services and opportunities to improve their situation and get out of their struggle.

Pros

No Greek Life, Rigorous, exciting new ventures into academics offered on campus.

Cons

Student Organisation dominates student life, students tend to drink alcohol often, competitive environment that breeds negative values.

Final comments

Boston is in New England, relatively close to cities like New York and to Canada. The univerity plans trips to all the interesting spots almost every weekend, check it out! Once again, take advantage of the accessibility of the faculty and learn! American university has a high percentage of international students, compared to European universities. Therefore, be openminded to new experiences and adapt to the local culture and to the people from other countries you'll meet. If you do that, you will enjoy your stage for sure :-)
