Four-year survivor and recent alumni of Northwood School, Sophia Schupp ’24, is currently attending her first year at Boston College. I had the chance to catch up with her and hear about her experiences at BC so far. Sophia loves Boston College and has had much fun at the school. She also loves her roommate. When asked about her time at BC, she said, “It was definitely an adjustment at first, but now I really like it.” Sophia also likes her classes at BC, saying that they’re hard but small, just like Northwood. One of her classes is big, but most of her classes are the same size as her previous Northwood classes. Sophia is a math major at BC, which has been challenging but rewarding.
A typical day for Sophia at Boston College looks like this: she wakes up around 8 am every day, then has class until 2:45 pm. After class, she likes to work out and then work on her homework until dinner. After dinner, she socializes and does more work until it’s time for bed.
Sophia’s favorite part of BC is the campus. The Boston College campus is stunning; the buildings are white brick, and a gorgeous cathedral is at the center of the campus. Although Sophia loves Boston College, she still misses Northwood. When asked what she misses most about Northwood, she said she misses her friends, the people, and the teachers. She loves BC but misses Northwood all the time too. Her time at Boston College also has not been without its challenges. She said getting adjusted to not being at Northwood anymore was difficult for her at first. She has also had to adapt to the classes being exam-based only, as this is different from the grading system at Northwood.
Overall, Sophia has loved her time at Boston College so far. We all miss her at Northwood but know she is doing great things at BC.
