A Day in the Life: Will Ades
Will
Ades, a sophomore math major, often begins his weekday mornings at the
Chocolate Bar, a popular cafe located on the first floor of Stokes Hall. “The
Chocolate Bar is that perfect blend of a social and solo working environment,”
Will says. “I could easily meet a friend there to work together, but the noise
level isn’t so intrusive that I can’t get work done alone.”
After
a coffee, Will walks through the quad to his 11 AM Linear Algebra class,
located in iconic Gasson Hall. Will arrives early to take advantage of the cozy
chairs available in Gasson, squeezing in some last minute studying before
class. Although his classes can be tough, Will loves the challenges that the
math major presents. “I enjoy patterns, and math is all about detecting and
learning different patterns,” he shares. “It’s all a big puzzle!” Will hopes
his major will help him with his problem solving skills and creativity.
After
math comes lunch--Will likes to eat in Eagles’ Nest, a popular lunch spot
located near the academic buildings on campus. Eagles’ Nest contains several
stations offering customizable hot sandwiches, soups, salads, and a new
Mediterranean wrap station.
“I
love how BC’s meal plan is on a debit system rather than the meal swipe system
at most schools,” Will says, enjoying a pressed Italian sandwich. “I can eat
however much or little I want, at any time of the day.”
Will
returns to the Cabaret Room in Vanderslice, his dorm, to study. WIll doesn’t
often study in his room--there is usually too much activity going on. He lives
in a nine-man, which features three triple rooms and a common room. Although
the noise in the nine-man makes studying a little more difficult, Will loves
having his own bathroom and all of his friends close by. “Our room is just a
place to relax and have fun,” Will explains. “It’s a great place to watch
football and sleep!”
Overall,
Will loves his life here at Boston College and firmly believes that choosing BC
was one of the best decisions he’s ever made.
“I’m surrounded by some of the smartest people I’ve ever met, and I’m inspired every day to work harder,” Will says. “BC has been exactly what I need to start my life. ”
