Bridgewater State University

Bridgewater State University has many opportunities for their students and their faculty is always willing to lend a helping hand when you need it. Although some of the students there are known to party too hard, BSU holds the highest regard for their students expecting nothing but the best from them. Their campus is clean, safe and have student art displayed throughout.

This was my first choice when I applied/was accepted by 3 other schools that happened to be further away. BSU is close to many local shops, restaurants, and more. On campus, events are always happening and there’s always someone there when you need help or have questions! #BSU

I think the teachers dont enjoy teaching, but do it for the money and its very obvious in the teaching. The campus often has a lot of issues with drugs and sexual assaults which is truly sad to say, but its definitely not the best when it comes to living on campus.

Bridgewater State has become my second home over the years. It is a typical state school with lots of opportunities in store. I wish they had more parking for commuters and easier access to classes. Overall, I have made life long experiences​ and have made a whole new family at BSU.

Bridgewater State University is overall a really good school. The professors are really involved with students, always helping student in the best way they can to help the students succeed.

Bridgewater State University was my number one choice, they have an excellent elementary education program so I was delighted to get in to the school. Once there I lived on campus for one semester and I made many new friends, everyone on that campus is so friendly. I also commuted to the campus for a semester where I found that the professors were more than accommodating and were very accessible outside of class. Bridgewater State University is a great university to attend and I would highly recommend it to anyone that was considering it.

I really enjoyed my time studying at Bridgewater State University. It is a very well known school for education (they were the first school for education in the United States) and they have a terrific aviation program. Professors are readily available during office hours and often via email. Campus life is great- there is always something happening in the dorms there, and there are many activities to get involved in. The Greek life may not be as involved as with larger Universities, but the groups that are established have great reputations and high student involvement. There are also plenty of opportunities for the arts on campus. A great theatre and dance program, on campus art gallery and the music department active and has classes for anything from voice to piano to African drumming. If you plan to study abroad, the study abroad office is very helpful with finding programs and funding. Food on campus is available for most of the day, and is of decent quality, with one dining hall staying open until late at night. Otherwise, there is a 24 hour convenience store off campus and plenty of restaurants to choose from in the immediate area. Also, there is a train stop right on campus if you wish to travel into the city and check out Boston for a day.

My experience at Bridgewater State University over the course of the last two years has been amazing. It gets some flack because it’s a public university, but it’s more than just an average school. All of my professors are approachable and have impressive backgrounds, the classes are great, and the career and internship opportunities are plentiful. I never feel any morsel of regret about my decision in choosing to attend BSU over other universities in and outside of Massachusetts. As a young woman, I feel completely safe walking across our campus at night, and I believe that speaks volumes about campus safety itself.

Bridgewater State offers regular courses and the professors are passionate on teaching. The food is OK, however the parking isn't accessible for everyone. Campus safety is stable and well-guarded meaning that there's a constant presence of police patrols. Greek life isn't significant but there are students who take pride in this opportunity. This is the perfect place for commuters and for students who want to get things done!

I'm a new freshman but so far really enjoy the campus life here! People are friendly, the campus is attractive and somewhat historic, and the food is good! I was assigned great roommates and our room is quite accommodating. I'm still learning to navigate everything but so far so good!
