BC on BU, BU on BC

For a couple of schools with a lot in common, Boston University and Boston College sure dont seem to like each other much.

We share the same avenue, gripe about the same B Line, take turns winning the NCAA hockey championship, even get mistaken for each other by unfamiliar out-of-towners. But ask BU students which school theyd most like to beat (at pretty much anything) and youll hear two letters: BC.

People who don't get into BC, get into BU, end of story.

"Our hockey team is amazing" Is that why BC has owned you guys the past two years?

SUCKS TO B U!

[mastroc4]

theyre both good schools. BC has better education, BU has better people. They each have their own qualities.

[cfxb]

they are both good schools for different reasons. get over it you divas.

Well, judging strictly from this video, BC has much more attractive females.

BU is a safety school.

Got into BC, decided on BU instead. Best decision I've ever made. Spent 4 years listening to superfans recite SAT statistics and acceptance rates every time they accidentally wandered into Boston proper. Now I go to law school with tons of BC kids who continue to drone on about BC's superiority. Get over it. Nobody, except other BC students/alumni, is impressed by the fact that you went to BC. At least you guys still can beat us in basketball! oh, wait . . .

The original location of Boston College was located on Harrison Avenue in the South End of Boston; hence the term "Boston". BC was also a college before it became a university. I think you can piece together why "Boston College" is called Boston College. As for the rankings. Your business school may be ranked 34th, but ours is ranked 16th in the nation. So, your bragging right is that ONE of your schools is ranked what our school is ranked overall? I'm impressed...do tell more.

Really? cuz i just find it stupid that there's a "compition" feeling to BU and BC..... get over it you're there to study lol

@SKERrrvy You misquoted me by using the wrong sense of the word "too," how embarrassing. Well, to be honest, I don't care about hockey. Let's just say both teams are good. Also, by what do you mean by "ranked?" If you're speaking academically, BU is not 82, its actually 53 or 54. And its business school is 34, which is the same as BC. Sorry whatever joke you were referring to failed miserably.

@wonderwall135 Dec 9th, 2009. I can read, yes. And can also tell you that for the season and a half before that date we didn't lose to BU 5 out of the 6 times we played. Mix in a national championship in that time too. Again, "usually" seems like a rough word choice.

And "to stupid to figure it out" because I'm from BC?? BC was ranked top 30 yet again in 2011 and BU 82nd??? So where does that put you? Jokes on you.

[wonderwall135]

@SKERrrvy This is from 2009, but you're probably too stupid to figure it out if you're from BC.
