The stereotype, from an outside perspective is that Bentley is full of international students (asian and indian) and that bentley is a good school. Within the school there are many different segments of students that can be put into categories. There are the athletes, decent portion but nothing substantial to the whole population of Bentley. The following groups tend to segment themselves from the rest of the school: football, hockey, and soccer. The soccer kids are not terrible, the hockey kids dont hang out or converse with anyone but the kids on their team and the other athletes, the baseball kids will converse with the football kids and most other people if you approach them or interact with them. The football kids are the biggest team on bentley and thus associate with moslty/only other football kids. There is a small/decent size fraternity population at Bentley. Their parties are mostly filled with younger years (freshman and sophmore). Foreign students associate primarily with each other: Spain with Spain, Indian with Indian, South America with South America. I have had many interactions with these groups of students only because I have had many jobs on campus where they work and my roomate is very social with them. Bentley has a decent marijuana afficianado crowd and it is slowly growing in numbers, especially with the recent incoming freshman class and in fraternity life. Everyone at Bentley (99%) is dedicated to completing school work and securing a job by their junior year. Bentley drives this into their students I have plenty more about the different stereotypes and clicks at Bentley but I have taken up enough of your time on this questions

In a nutshell, Bentley's a great school for business, but those looking for a more culturally well-rounded, intellectually focused college experience that allows you to figure out what it is you're most passionate about may not find that Bentley is a true fit for them. As someone who did almost everything before coming to college, I feel like I've hit a wall already with the things I can pursue at Bentley. It is a great school if your interests match up with those of the university's (in nearly every aspect), but those looking for more of the traditional college experience with the ability to try a lot of different things and figure out what it is you're most interested in may want to really consider whether or not Bentley will give them the experience they want.

Bentley is extremely underrated, their curriculum and professors really prepare you to be successful when you get out.

There are to many dudes,

If you want to major in finance or accounting, there really is no better place. I wouldn't say our other programs suck, but our marketing program definitely is not top-notch. Management is a bogus major anyway, so I can't really comment on it. I mean, really, I'm a finance major and some day I'll be in a management roll, and I'm 100% certain I have the ability to succeed without a management degree of any kind. Same can be said about any career path.

Bentley is truly a business school--do not expect to get more out of it. Having just finished my first semester, I can say I felt more like what I imagine an MBA program would have been like than a liberal arts undergrad curriculum. For many, the strong business focus is exactly what they want, but those who aren't committed to business may find that the scene gets old quickly. Nearly everything has a business focus, from the course selection to extracurricular events (many of which include Big Four recruiters). There are some other options, like the Liberal Studies Major, which is a great addition to the business curriculum, but for those who really want to try and get away from the business world Benltey thrusts you into, this won't be enough.

The best thing about Bentley is its size. A lot of people (including myself) were afraid to attend a school that was too small. If it was too small, you would get bored too quickly, you'd meet just about everyone in the first year, it would feel like high school, etc. Bentley is roughly 4,000-5,000 undergrad. I don't feel like I have even come close to meeting half of the students in my class after 3 years. It is big enough to have a lot of fun at, yet small enough to get VERY individual attention, have small classes, and can provide resources for all of its students. We also have a "trading room" that is unmatched by ANY school in the WORLD. Better than what can be seen at Harvard Business School, Wharton (at UPenn), MIT, Columbia Business School, or any "top-notch" business school in the country. We have all of the financial software and tools used at top financial institutions across the globe. When I showed up for my first day of work at Morgan Stanley I knew how to use their software better than 25-year industry veterans. Following the theme of business technology, we also have the Center for Marketing Technology and the "ACELAB" (Accounting Center for Electronic Learning and Business, basically an accounting software room). There is no software you will be unfamiliar with after leaving Bentley. I can't truly comment on either of these as I am a finance major, and the experience I've had with both is limited at best.

Favorite class ever in my academic history: FI392: International Project Finance. This class is taught by former investment bankers and is essentially centered around investment banking-style projects. It is a class based entirely upon case studies of enormous investments. You analyze these multi-billion dollar investments from every aspect; it goes far beyond what you learn in a textbook and is as close as you can get to real-world experience inside a classroom. I have learned topics and techniques in this class that I'm not sure I ever would have ever learned in my academic career. I feel comfortable modeling large projects, analyzing risk, and building a proper valuation. Absolutely incredible class; a must-take for any finance major at this school.

Yes

When you tell people you go to Bentley, you can def. see that "he/she must be smart" look on their face, unless they or their kids go to ivy leagues, then that would just be "koo." The BEST thing about Bentley is connections. Networking's a must. You can almost always find a job/internship if you really look, even if you're a freshman. My freshman year, I got into a small iBank and I was competing against upperclassmen from all over the place. If you really try, you can establish relationships with VPs from the top financial firms and they can get you in.

There are to many dudes,

Lots of emails from the social groups, its a very involved community

Not completely. People certainly care about their plans for Thursday to Saturday night and certainly enjoy themselves. If you're not into drinking, though, it can be really difficult to find people who have similar interests. And as for the cars, there are some pretty nice ones in the lots here that you know the kids didn't buy themselves, but I haven't actually seen a Bentley yet.
