At Your Leisure.....Facilities

As if the range of courses wasn’t enough, Boston College can offer you a variety of services to help make life easier.

Refresh Yourself

If yours is a daytime course, sample the food on offer at The Bistro. Prepared and served by students from the Hospitality and Catering department, the food is excellent value and is enjoyed by hundreds of students and staff each week. Pastries, cakes, paninis, salads and daily specials tempt you - so treat yourself!

The Haven Restaurant serves delicious meals during the day, with ‘Brasserie’ nights on alternate Thursday evenings. This luxurious restaurant can also be booked for special events. Refreshments are available before evening classes in The Diner, which serves cafeteria style meals. During later classes, take advantage of our selection of vending machines, offering snacks and hot and cold drinks at all sites.

Relax and Rejuvenate

There are many ways to escape the stresses and strains of everyday life with Boston College. Visit Salon École on the Rochford Campus for a range of competitively priced Hair and Beauty treatments. Manicure, pedicure, and even aromatherapy massage are just some of the treatments on offer.

If you prefer something more energetic, we can offer you free swimming at the Geoff Moulder leisure centre, and preferential membership rates at the gym. With these offers you can improve both body and mind!
