BC obviously is a very good lacrosse program, but certainly not the end all. For the top girls who have "game" is its certainly to be considered a top 5 or top ten lacrosse program. Yet not everyone is sold on BC. BC leaves some of the boxes unchecked for many players in many other areas. Boston is an awesome city for sure, but the winters are cold, tough and depressing. The campus has some very nice buildings and picturesque areas, but it is not really in the heart of the city and has an awkward layout for a campus. The facilities and arrangements for the women's lacrosse is far from ideal, feels very after thoughty, or the best they could do in fitting into the urban sprawl. It is pretty good academically, especially compared to many of the other D1 programs, but not great and certainly not stellar. While it may be a top 5 lacrosse program, it is far from that academically and many players who have "game", also have "grades" too, and have much better academic options to play at. Many parents of the players are known to be rather arrogant and unbearable, as you can see from the posts here, several years in the last few, are all represented here with parents posting/claiming their daughter was #1. Yes, a few top players go there every year, and the same can be said for many other top programs as well, so put it perspective. And yes, many top players with BC as an option, CHOOSE to go elsewhere. If all these self-proclaimed #1 players from all these areas all went to BC, BC would have the #1 ranked incoming class every year, but that is not the case. So many great players from all over out there, going to many different programs.
