After weeks of anxious waiting and one frustrating “hang in there” email from the Office of Global Education (OGE), sophomores took a collective sigh of relief when they saw their study abroad decisions come out this past Friday.

The 2019 U.S. News college rankings, released Monday, placed Boston College at No. 38, tied with The College of William and Mary and the University of California Davis. This represents a drop from last year’s rankings, which had BC and William and Mary tied at 32. BC received an overall score of 68/100.
