Boston College is a prestigious private research university located in the city of Boston, Massachusetts. Established in 1863, the campus of Boston College is spread over 338 acres and is located in the suburban neighborhood of Chestnut Hill. One of the must-see landmarks in Boston College is the Gasson Hall. It is the university's main administrative building, designed in a Gothic Revival style, and its tower stands tall at 200 feet. Apart from the architecture, Boston College is home to several museums, including the McMullen Museum of Art, which showcases art exhibits ranging from Medieval and Renaissance art to contemporary work. Situated in a Georgian Revival mansion, it's a beautiful space to wander around and admire the art.

Another interesting spot on-campus is the Linden Lane, which is a 100-year-old walkway lined with trees. It is a peaceful and serene location, filled with rich history and great for taking a stroll or snap some Instagram-worthy photos. The campus is also near Chestnut Hill Reservoir, which is perfect for those who fancy a walk or jog in a peaceful setting. Boston College has always been known for its strong athletic program with 31 varsity teams in total. Tourists can check out the Conti Forum, home to Eagles men's and women's basketball teams and volleyball teams, to experience Big East Conference competition in a lively atmosphere. The teams tend to be popular with students, so be prepared for enthusiastic crowds.
