We withhold an authority number until independent evidence (global rank, link-graph presence) has accrued. The facts we do have about this site are shown below — we'd rather say “not enough signals yet” than invent a low score.
Safety evidence
No unexpired threat-feed result; name-similarity check available (recorded about 1 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 1 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.
No caution flags in the available scoring observations; this is not a complete safety assessment

2006
Founded in 1863, Boston College is a coeducational university with an enrollment of 9,000 undergraduates and 4,700 graduate and professional students representing every state and more than 99 countries. US News and World Report ranks Boston College 37th among national universities. Boston College confers more than 3,800 degrees in more than 50 fields of study through 11 schools and colleges.
2007
Boston is a private college that is also the oldest Jesuit Catholic College in the United States. The school started out in 1864 with only 3 teachers and 22 students. The numbers in both areas have grown dramatically since that time. The school was founded due to the number of students at Harvard University who felt their Catholic beliefs were discriminated against.rewritten
