Review of Bentley University

Describe your college in three sentences.

Bentley is a very diverse and well rounded school with all like minded students and teachers. If you wish to be a high class business man/woman, Bentley is the best school for that. Bentley will take care of you if you need the help, they are trying to become the next Harvard business school so are trying to get the top quality students to come and stay.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are wanting to be an investment banker, financial manager, accountant, etc. Bentley is the perfect school for you. Make sure you go to an interview with a counselor because they can write a fantastic report for you that may make or break your chances.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The core classes are some of the most difficult classes I have ever taken, and I was in almost all the possible AP courses at my high school. The non-core classes make up for the difficulty by being easier and giving you more time for the core classes.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Bentley is ranked one of the top schools for Dorm rooms for good reason. Your freshman year you will have a room that is just a bit better than the average dorm room, but the rooms jump in quality once you have a years worth of credits. You will have a room easily the size of a two bedroom apartment your sophomore year and it will slowly increase in quality.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The main cafeteria at Bentley is notorious for students to get sick of fast, but Bentley has a wide range of other options around campus besides the cafeteria which are of high quality even compared to college food such as Harvards.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

At Bentley almost 90% of all students participate in some sort of sport. If you don't like sports there is a wide range of the stereotypical college clubs such as student government as well as investment clubs and business oriented clubs. For the weekend, there is always a party going on someone on campus or off campus within walking distance. There is also a street within walking distance that has clubs/bars and shopping.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Bentley is very expensive, but you are truely getting what you pay for.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
