#BC2024: Do you know how many libraries you have to choose from at Boston College? There are 8 libraries for you to choose from with over 700 databases for your use! The O'Neill Library, the main research library, is located centrally on main campus. Here, you can reserve study rooms for group projects, prepare for interviews, or find a spot to study with your friends. There are even a few classrooms within the five story library! The O'Neill building is also home to the Digital Studio, the Connor's Family Learning Center, the Technology Help Center, and much more. Who knows, maybe the O'Neill library will become your study place of choice!

At BC, we use reflection as a tool to explore and grow into our best selves. It is not until we understand our own motivations that we truly become people for others. During this difficult time, we hope you feel called to reflect often and deeply. Let us know what you have been reflecting on these last few months in the comments below! #BeAttentive #BeReflective #BeLoving

Calling all Students of Color in the Class of 2024 Let us tell you a little bit about the Compass Mentoring Program: Compass resides in the Office of First Year Experience, and is a program that aims to support and celebrate our first year Students of Color (AHANA). This mentoring program is focused on helping you “find your direction” at BC so you can determine where you are and where you want to go as you embark on your college experience. In Compass, you will receive an junior or senior mentor that will help you with your transition to BC, and have the opportunity to meet fellow first year AHANA students through discussions surrounding identity, transition, relationships, BC culture, campus resources, and much more! Submit your application to be part of the Compass Mentoring Program starting June 1st! For more information visit www.bc.edu/compass or email us at bccompass@bc.edu with any questions! #BC2024 #BC360 #FindYourDirectionAtBC

Class of 2024: Ever heard of the #ChocolateBar? It is one of the more popular conversation spots on campus! A little bit about Stokes Hall. Stokes Hall, one of the newest academic buildings on campus, is home to many offices on campus including Classical Studies, English, History, Philosophy, Theology, the PULSE program and the Academic Advising Center. Although mainly a classroom building, many students enjoy spending time hanging out in the Chocolate Bar located in the lobby of the South Stokes building. What is better than coffee and a truffle to help you study? The Stokes Lawn hosts many student events throughout the year and when the whether is nice, students often eat lunch in the Stokes Amphitheater.
