I would say I've had a great time honestly though. I won't go into the specifics of my personal experience at BC, but I've made great friends and the culture and vibe is very warm for the most part. Socially, at least by the time you are an upperclassman, students are friendly and welcoming with little drama. But I know people's experiences would vary greatly, I may have been lucky. I'm from another borough and have a long commute to BC. Almost all social life, especially as 9th/10th grader, occurs in Park Slope or neighboring areas, and so do most students. So if you go, be prepared to schlep back and forth a lot if you live far away. You'll make friends probably, there is a good mix of people.

I know what to expect from teachers, I get to work with the same fellow students throughout the years, and I'm never late to my classes. The classes themselves are challenging and leave a lot of homework, but I've found it a welcome change after my last school. My only complaints are the small amount of funding for clubs and school trips, but I'm not sure if that is because of the school itself or the overall budget cuts happening all over NYC. Besides that, I would say that as a fluent Spanish speaker, I would've liked to have taken Spanish AP this year rather than Junior year and to have taken another college class in place of art.
