Overall I think Bridgewater State University is a great school and I love it here. There are so many things to do outside of class and so many great people. The teachers are very helpful and it's just a great school all around.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you get involved on campus, whether you are living there or commuting. You will meet so many new people and it will really make the experience so much better. Also don't forget to take advantage of all the help that the school has to offer with classes and tutoring and more!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academics at this school are great. There are so many options to help you succeed and do well, you just have to take advantage of them. There are so many courses offered, that there is always something fun to add to your schedule, whether it be a sport, horseback riding or doing yoga, and they all give you class credit!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Most of the dorms on campus are decent. With the newer dorms being better, but they are also harder to get in to. The school is also building a brand new dorm that will open the Fall of 2013. The rooms are a decent size, but only two of the dorms have air conditioning to make sure you bring a fan!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food at BSU is decent. Some dining halls are better than others. The downside is that all of the food gets boring after you eat it every day for a couple years. The school does try though, and the dining halls do introduce new foods and specials every now and then. Just try to mix it up and go to different dining halls so it doesn't get to boring to quickly. There are two dining halls on each side of campus, so there are a bit of options to choose from.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The school has tons of clubs and activities for fun. You can also joint the amazing Greek life community of campus. There is usually always something going on somewhere, so you are never really bored. There is also a lot of fun classes you can take that will give you credit at the same time.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Bridgewater State University is a state school, which makes it cheaper than a lot of schools and it really is an amazing school for the price. If you don't get much financial aid though, be prepared to pay quite a few thousands dollars when you graduate.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Bridgewater is great for all types of student, there is really something tor everyone at this school. I'm sure no matter what type of student you are, you will fit right in and find lots of things to keep you busy.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The school has a tons of club and activities for students, and if you dont find a club or activity that you like you can always gather some people with the same interests and start your own club!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life at Bridgewater State University is amazing. I am part of Greek life on campus and it really has changed my life for the better. I have met so many amazing people and made so many connections that I will never forget. Greek life students also have a higher overall GPA as compared to the rest of the school. It is not all about fun and partying. We have a strict no hazing policy and each organization has philanthropy's that they support and raise money for.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus safety is very good at Bridgwater. I always feel safe walking around campus, even late at night. There are 'blue lights' all around campus that you press the emergency button on and the police will be there in seconds. BSU has it's own police department so they can be anywhere on campus in under a minute. We also have a safety escort system that you call anytime between 7pm-3am and they will come and pick you up anywhere on campus and then drop you off at your destination for free. There are also student security officers in the dorms between 7pm-3am that check students back when they enter a dorm and they also sign in students guests so if anything where to go wrong it is all on the computer. Overall I think Bridgewater is a great on safety standards.
