Bentley University

Bentley is a good education school, but it terms of food, social life, living areas, fitness equipment, and pretty much everything else, it is not worth the $100,000 amount of debt that many students take on. The living spaces are very small and bland, especially freshman and sophomore year. The food is probably some of the worst food you can find on a school campus, I have actually gotten sick twice after eating there (as in throwing up and diarrhea). Overall, of you are look to take on $100,000 in debt for a good education, bad food, and a terrible social life, then Bentley is the place for you!!!

I’ve had a thoroughly terrible experience here, and I really wish I had something positive to say about the school. The people are essentially carbon copies of one another, there is no intellectual diversity, everyone is solely focused on sex and money, and everyone is either a rich white kid or an international student. The guys are full of themselves, and the girls are worse because of the gender ratio, they all think they’re absolutely stunning when they’re 3/10 at best. If you’re looking for an overpriced, rigorous school with a terrible social scene, horrible food, and average facilities, Bentley is the place to be. That said, career services and academics are ranked incredibly well. Personally, the cons severely outweigh the pros, but the typical preppy white kid loves it here.

I graduated from Bentley with my Bachelor’s in Accountancy and will be graduating with my Master’s in Taxation in May 2018. I choose Bentley because of its classroom sizes, location and great academics. The classroom sizes are perfect where the professor knows everyone’s names and gets to know you. The professors are always willing to help, both during office hours or outside office hours by appointment. I also liked the location because it was close to the city but not directly in the city so it was a little more peaceful. Sometimes it was a pain to get to Boston without a car but the Bentley shuttle to Harvard is convenient to have! I thought the accounting program was challenging and rigorous and I was able to learn a lot that prepared me for the real world. There was always something to do on-campus as well and many networking opportunities! Bentley offers various clubs and organizations to get involved and meet new people. Since it is only a business school, it is small so people tend to stay close to their groups but everyone’s still pretty friendly and social! Bentley’s graduate program can also be done in-person or online. This was really convenient for me since I had a long commute so I loved having the flexibility depending on my schedule for the day. If you go to Bentley for your Bachelor’s, they also offer an option to take a maximum of 2 graduate courses during your last semester at the price of undergraduate tuition which is what I did. I was able to save a lot on tuition! Overall, I’ve really enjoyed my college experience at Bentley and loved the professors and everyone I met along the way!

It is a great school that is very strongly career-oriented. Most students graduate with great degrees and even better jobs. From a faculty and administrative standpoint, there is definitely some inconsistencies and hostility. There isn't much transparency between the administration/faculty and the students. Other than that, I would recommend Bentley University to anyone.

Bentley University is an amazing University with lots of Great opportunities!

It is a small knit community of hardworking individuals. The academics are rigorous and has newly renovated facilities. The campus food is decent, but the upper campus and discretionary locations have better quality food. Bentley has a world class reputation in career services and accounting/business. It is a wonderful university to attend. Best years of my life!

Bentley University is the best college in the area for business. I am getting the best education I could be getting, and I have so much fun. The food may not be the best, and the stairs suck, but I wouldn't change my decision to come here for anything. I love being here every day.

Bentley University in y opinion is an excellent university. Bentley's campus is one of the most beautiful campuses I've seen, and is one of the major reasons why I decided to attend it. Campus food is exceptional, there are around 10 dining places students could go to that accept discretionary funds. Almost all professors I've had classes with have first hand experience from the business world, also, they are always available for help and are usually very caring. Overall, Bentley has been an amazing experience for me until now, and I hope it would continue to provide great experiences for other student and myself for the next two years and a half

Bentley University is a lovely school with a huge focus on academics and opportunity. The food is alright, but there are also other dining options available like La Cava and Russo's. The people are very business minded and will usually not say be too openly opinionated about politics. Bentley University is definitely a place for growth in business skills, but also in personal experience as well.

Bentley is a nice school all in all. The food is pretty sub par and the workload is high, but it's very good academically. There are events going on in campus every weekend so it's not as boring one might think. Small campuses are not for everyone, but Bentley is a nice middle ground.
