All packages and letters should be addressed as follows for the summer term:
[First Name] + [Last Name]
[Residence Hall] + [Room Number]
150 St. Thomas More Rd
Chestnut Hill MA 02467
Important notes about proper addressing:
- Please use the student's name as they are registered at Boston College. Use of a nickname may delay the delivery of their package.
- There is no need to include "Boston College" in the address, as carriers recognize the street addresses as BC locations.
- Please double check that you are using the correct zip code to be sure your package is delivered to Boston College (and not a similar nearby address).
- Improper addressing leads to delays in delivery from the carrier and sorting in the BC mail room.
