Many note that the administration encourages extracurricular pursuits, not only by offering over a hundred student organizations of various types, but also by providing liberal funding for their creation. "I am a part of many extracurriculars at college, from Student Government to Greek Life. I like everything I am a part of, and I like that I am able to diversify my involvement." Choices range from sports teams such as baseball, equestrian, and figure-skating, to marketing and finance groups, to charitable endeavors such as Habitat for Humanity, and particular interests such as theater, chess, and cooking. "Class schedules are very lenient and flexible, so students fill their days with as many extracurricular and career development activities as possible." In addition to the high level of activity on campus, many students also reap the benefits of living in the Boston area.
