Bridgewater State University

Bridgewater State University is an excellent school, that is transfer student friendly. I have taken advantage of their mass transfer program, and they made the transition from community college a breeze. I am currently withstanding a grade point average of highest honors, and feel fully immersed in my learning experience. B.S.U. genuinely cares about the affordability of their students and I am forever grateful for the opportunities that have been granted to me being apart of the film communications program. Being a commuter, I needed a university that would help me excel without breaking my budget and this school has accomplished just that.

Really helpful and a great campus.

With well below average SAT scores, I didn't expect that I could even be accepted to any college program, but Bridgewater State took that chance and saw my potential. I soon realized that BSU was going to be MY home for the next four years. The school as a whole, average in my eyes. The atmosphere is most of what I wanted myself, a small school that offered a wide variety of opportunities; often quiet in the nights, but busy with lots to see during the day. With every step there was always one person to wave to and ask how you've been, or an informational booth to share information on the latest student news. Professors always wanting to know if there is anything more that can be done to ensure everyone is learning the material. Sports were not that popular but many would attend as the Bears took on their newest match. But beware of what you are eating before the game, that taco you just ate from East Campus Commons might be seen again real soon, however with four dining halls you can always find something you are in the mood for. Overall, Bridgewater State was generous and gave lots to its students, the area was beautiful and opportunities endless.

I think Bridgewater State University is one of the best universities in New England. The campus is tucked away so it feels like you're in your own little world, but there is also access to the Commuter Rail right on campus, so you can venture up to Boston easily. The classes are small, which is nice because it feels like you can actually make a relationship with your professors. There are also plenty of clubs and organizations you can join to meet new people and make friends! Overall, I think Bridgewater State University is an excellent college and has been a pleasant experience thus far!

I have been a graduate business student at Bridgewater State University for 1 Semester and have enjoyed my short time with the school. I appreciate the small class size that has allowed me to get to know my professors with ease. I like that they are the ones answering my questions about the documents that they will be grading so I know what to expect. The accessibility to the professors has allowed me to become more comfortable in the learning environment and allows them to show an interest in their students. They can handle who may need more help and recognize the top students. I have taken classes with hundreds of students at other universities and I know that BSU’s style of teaching is a good learning style that works for me. The dining hall food on campus is average to above average but could always be improved. The campus is nice and has plenty of organizations to get involved in. Bridgewater is a diverse area and school. If you have a certain interest or group that you are seeking out, there is a good chance Bridgewater already has something involving it. It is convenient that the school is located on a commuter line and near a main highway between Cape Cod and Boston. There is plenty to do within driving distance during down time when not studying. I also like that Bridgewater is in a relatively affordable location compared to many other towns and cities in Massachusetts. The classes are competitively priced, and I am grateful for the opportunity to go back to school to work towards a graduate degree. A college degree is what you make of it and I feel that BSU will give one that opportunity.

Bridgewater State University will provide any student with a chance to become a part of an inclusive community of helpful, caring professors and lifelong friends. There is a way for every student to find their niche at BSU and have a truly amazing college experience. On the Bridgewater State University campus you will find diversity, inclusivity, and ultimately a home with your fellow Bears.

Like the smaller, real New England feel campus. Small class sizes.

I love Bridgewater State, it became a new home to me when I joined the bus family, the campus is very diverse so there is no way that you won't be able to find people with similar interests. although a lot of students are commuters, there are plenty of places around campus for commuters to stay while on campus waiting for their classes. the library is a great place to study, and even has a Starbucks inside that can be purchased using your meal plan. overall its just a great place to be.

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.
