Jenn Conlon, an Accounting and Political Science double
major, still cannot believe how much she is enjoying her sophomore year.
“Finding out I had to live on College Road (the so-called “least
desirable sophomore housing”) was making me dread this year,” she shares. “But
now I don’t mind CoRo at all. It’s close to class, it’s quiet, and it’s clean.”
This cozy double in Roncalli Hall is where Jenn starts and
ends her busy days. Because she is a student in both the Carroll School of
Management and the College of Arts and Sciences, Jenn’s schedule is packed with
a wide variety of classes. First thing in the morning, Jenn makes the short
walk from her dorm to Fulton, her favorite building on campus. There, she takes
classes in accounting and business law.
“CSOM has a lot of group work,”
Jenn says. “It helps your presentation skills. Working in groups helps you
build relationships with your classmates. When you have problems with
something, you have someone to go to.”
This sense of community—combined
with inspiring professors and the integration of technology into the
classroom—is what makes CSOM such a fulfilling and unique experience for Jenn.
After the
business portion of her day is complete, Jenn catches up on her Spanish
homework in her favorite study spot, the Stokes amphitheater. “Working there allows me to enjoy the nice
weather whenever I can!” she says.
Jenn’s day does not consist entirely of schoolwork. In the
evenings, she often makes time to go to the Plex with her roommate to work out.
“Going to the Plex gives me structure,” she says. “I love that I have a gym
close by.”

Although her days are busy, Jenn is grateful to be a Boston
College student and cannot imagine herself anywhere else. “I love it, “ she
says confidently. “I know that all the time and effort I put in here will be
worth it.”
