life. Childhood has ended;
adulthood is setting in. College
is where you'll find yourself,
where you'll meet the
best friends you'll ever make,
where you'll have the best
time of your life - and then,
when it's over, you'll venture
into "the great abyss.

Students here at St. John's have been complaining about the lack of campus life for the past few years. Residents say that the campus dies each weekend, forcing them to go elsewhere to have some fun on days off.

The Boston College community has seen its list of high profile guests make a stop on campus, but none possessed a presence as persistent and simultaneously down-to-earth as legendary newsman and NBC News Washington bureau chief Tim Russert.
His passing comes only a few weeks after his last visit to campus, when his son Luke, BC '08, graduated.
Vice President and Special Assistant to the President Rev. William Neenan, S.J., recalled a conversation he had with Russert during a reception at the Jesuit's Roberts House on campus that same day.
"He assured us that even though Luke was graduating, he would stay continuously involved in the life of BC," Neenan said.
