Extracurriculars!

Hello again!

This past weekend was Easter weekend; as a Jesuit-Catholic school we have a longer break then most other schools in order to observe Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Monday. Most students will head back to school at some point today because all classes will be running as usual tomorrow.

As Nursing students we spend many hours per week with the same 100 girls (and a few boys) in lectures, labs and clinical. With this being said, it is important to join clubs and activities around campus to widen our social circles and experiences. No matter what you are interested in there will be an activity, group or club around campus that will suit you!

Personally, I am involved with the Undergraduate Government of Boston College (UGBC), the Student Admissions Program, and intramural sports. One of UGBC's main goals is to continuously improve campus life while staying true to traditions and heritage. The Student Admissions Program maintains contact with perspective students from September until they are admitted and make decisions in May. There are different sports to play each intramural season and you can sign up for as many as you'd like. Teams are co-ed and the games are a lot of fun! Although these are the activities I chose to join, there are also a cappella groups, comedy groups, various newspaper staffs, cultural groups, dance ensembles and so forth. You will definitely be able to find something you enjoy around campus!

As always, feel free to e-mail me with any questions, comments or concerns! (thomannl@bc.edu)
