The Boston College station is the western terminus of the MBTA Green Line's B-branch (also known as the "Boston College" line). It is located at St Ignatius Square on the Boston College campus in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, near the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Lake Street. The line also provides access to most of the Boston University campus.

Originally called Lake Street, the station was once the eastern terminus of another trolley line, the Commonwealth Avenue Street Railway, operated by the Middlesex and Boston Street Railway until 1930. The route of the former trolley line is evidenced by the grassy, tree-lined median which runs the entire length of Commonwealth Avenue in Newton.

In 2007, Boston College has released its 10 Year Institutional Master Plan which includes a plan to relocate the station to the median of Commonwealth Avenue, just east of the Lake Street intersection.

Accessibility

The station is accessible when served by the MBTA's newer low-floor trolley cars. See MBTA accessibility.
