I thought that it might be helpful to write a review sharing my perspective on the my 4 years at Bentley and the 10 years since I graduated. During College: Pros: - Great overall college experience. - Enjoyed playing Div II athletics. - Made the best friends of my life and met a ton of great people. - Enjoyed the small class sizes and easy access to professors. They keep you focused and prevent you from getting lost in the shuffle. - Great Career Services program, I had six job interviews on campus and 4 offers. - Good local internship opportunities. - Nice private campus with easy access to Boston. - If you want to be successful and learn about business, Bentley will provide you all the opportunities you need. That's the advantage of going to a Business speciality school. Cons: - There are four social groups at Bentley - Athletes, Greeks, International Students and Everyone else. If you want a decent social life you need to get involved in some kind of group. Most of the Bentley parties are in small apartments. Girls get in, but if you're a guy and you don't know the people running the party - good luck. - If you are not interested in business or technology, Bentley is not the place for you. It would have been nice to have a greater variety of people on campus (Bentley is all business majors). However, Bentley has started to offer more majors which helps to attract different types of students. After Graduation Perceptions: - Bentley has a great name in the Northeast. People are impressed with Bentley graduates and respect the school. - All my friends have great jobs and a great professional network of Bentely alumni. - I sometimes wonder what it would have been like going to school farther from home (I'm from MA) or a bigger school with more school spirit, diversity and Div 1 athletics. - I work with a lot of people who went to less expensive public schools like UMass or UNH who also got a great education for 1/2 the price. I got my MBA from UMass Amherst and felt that the quality of professors was very similar. Starting Job: Inside Sales Account Manager, Preparedness: B+, Reputation: B+ Have a Question?

If you don't have a sharp accounting mind then forget it, they try to cheat you out of money every chance they get. It's the old "bait and switch" deal. I was quoted specific amounts for room and board and expenses, given financial aid to cover that amount and when I got here they wanted a bunch MORE for my room and food! I am now living in a space 7' by 9' and living on what I can cook on my microwave cos I didn't have more money to pay them. They also requested me to pay an extra 1200.00 for another computer, even tho mine was brand new and just like the one they made me buy. the financial aid package was not anywhere near as good as the school I transferrd from and I transferred cos I thought this school was going to teach me sharp business practices...they STILL have got my bill right and they have lost my paperwork 3 TIMES!!! Other students have told me similar stories...this school has the reputation for "nickle and diming " their students into poverty. And they aren't too good at the book-keeping/student services end of it. And if you look at the average salary of the grads...it's a JOKE! Janitors make more money at this school, I asked! Unless you have money to burn....Take my advice...go to BABSON! Faculty Accessibility: B, Campus Maintenance: F Have a Question?

It'll provide you with a solid foundation/platform for the business world. Although a smaller/lesser known b school, it's an all-star with a comprehensive approach to business/liberal arts education. Upon graduation/entering the workforce, I had developed business savvy and skills equivalent to folks twice my age. Bentley is an institutional "change agent": it embraces progress, technology, and diversity like no other school that I looked at. To boot, I think it has one of the best campuses in New England...With the recent election of a new college President in Fall of '07, I have no doubt that it will start to gain its "due" footprint on the global map.
