History of Mod 29B
During the late 1960's due to poor economic health and space restraints the adminstration at Boston College decided to build the prefabricated modular apartments on the lower part of the Boston College Campus. Although they were originally intended as temporary housing, the "mods", as the student body has come to call them, have survived in large part because of their popularity among undergraduates. Although in the past two years 4 Mods have been deystroyed in order to build Saint Ignatius Gate most are still thriving. One Mod that still embodies what it means to be a undergraduate student at Boston College is Mod 29B.

Class of 2006
On Monday March 14, 2005 Patrick Kane an undergraduate in the Boston College Class of 2006 handed in his room registration card for 6 person living accomodations to the Office of Residential Life. Unlike other groups who came as a group to hand in their respective registration cards, Patrick walked alone. The other five potential roomates were scattered across the globe in China, Italy, New Zealand and Spain as they spent their spring semester studying abroad. To his dismay during the lottery selection process his group and the group they blocked with got pick number 96 and 97. The chances of acquiring a mod looked slim.

On Tuesday March 15, 2005 after attending a Taco Night with his Appalacia group Patrick arrived at 7:00 to the housing process. 30 Groups had already selected their housing for the next year and 7 of them had chosen Rubenstein and Ignacio instead of the Modular Apartments. His feelings of rejection for getting pick number 97 changed to hope. 60 Groups later Patrick and his friends needed just one more group to not choose the Mods and they were in, and then Patrick Eaves and Stephen Gionta came out of the selection room and because they were Hockey Players and were unable to live in the mods the boys of group 97 were in.
