The Boston College Experience provides motivated high school students the opportunity to live and learn as students at Boston College. Through adherence to our Jesuit mission, our programs focus on exposing students to a rich and rewarding college experience through coursework, extracurricular activities, and reflection. Built into the programs are activities that help to prepare students for their college search and the transition into college life.
Ìý
Students will participate in lectures and workshops ranging from the college admissions process, resume writing and networking skills, and cultural and social outings, all while enjoying the beautiful city of Boston over the summer. In addition to robust academic programming, students explore Boston through required weekend excursions. Students are also provided opportunities to explore on their own as well. We expect that participants will be able to manage their own time effectively in the safe environment provided for them as part of the Boston College Experience.
