Last night two Boston College students who were visiting students from Loyola University in New Orleans were stabbed on Chestnut Hill Avenue about 1:30 in the morning.

They had arrived with around 150 other students to attend classes. We reached out to Loyola University and Tulane to provide an opportunity to study here during the crisis of Hurricane Katrina.

As much as the university embraces adult re-entry students, it would be nice if more of the undergraduate classes were tailored a bit more toward older students.

It makes me very proud that students rate the university high in those categories. We know our students by name, not by number, ... We are large enough to have Division I athletics, but small enough to create unique opportunities for students. Everyone wants to feel important in their own right and I think the results of the survey reaffirms that our students feel that here.

The university is really interested in helping our students find a college to call home.
