"I have learned so much and I can't wait to say that I am a proud BC alumni. I love so many things about Boston College including the atmosphere it creates for everyone to come together and excel at whatever it is that we are doing. 

I love the diversity it provides, which has enabled me to learn about different cultures. The diversity at BC and the MS program have helped me in business dealings with people from around the world. 

I also love BC sports. I attend many football, basketball and ice hockey games. The atmosphere here is one of a kind. I know that the  faculty and staff are always there for me when I need them. Everyone is easily accessible and most importantly everyone makes you feel like you are home."
