"academic" doesn't = "prominent." I've never heard of this Holy Cross place.

It's part of the Worcester 12 college consortium. Not even kidding, there are 12 colleges in the area. At least 3 of them are catholic. Not sure about greek life there though.

Where are you getting that info from? Holy Cross is an excellent school, but I've always heard of (and regarded) BC as being on a higher level academically.

BC is better than Holy Cross. You are correct. Take it from a native.

I was going to say, I was in Boston for 7 years, grew up in New England, and had never heard that.

Again, nothing against Holy Cross, as it is a very good school. But, I'd always heard BC was better (not that BC isn't overrated in some ways, in my opinion).

Now, if we're going to get into a BU/BC debate, I'll just have to keep my mouth shut...
