I have attended the Bay Path Saturday program (Charlton) for 2 years now. I chose this school simply because of the convenience and cost to attend school one day a week versus a traditional program.

The staff is unfriendly, often unavailable, and they simply don't care. The overall student body consists of primarily white students from surrounding towns who are very closed-minded and sometimes openly racist. Diversity is definitely not one of Bay Path's strengths.

If I had the option to go to a different school, I'd transfer in a heart beat but I only have several months left to graduate and just simply want to get it over with.

If you have the ability to go elsewhere, please do.

Half way through an accelerated program, have had only one professor who didn't have as much time for feedback as some would have liked. Even if not in their nature to be overly friendly per se, professors are generally very generous with their time, availability and feedback.

Among students, there is some competition instead of collaboration and some closed mindedness instead of appreciation of differences; but, overall people want to be successful and don't expect someone else to pay the expense for it. Activities seem to be geared to the traditional student, and that's okay.

Baypath has a very nice campus, from the grounds to the facilities, equipment and furniture (and I agree, the food is good!). You can see where some of your dollars go. I didn't realize it is a dry campus until reading someone else's comment. You would have to venture a fair distance if you want to party. I think the fact that it is a dry campus says good things about the expectation for students. The environment for learning, development and personal growth is there if you take advantage of it. Why would you want to spend all that tuition $ and then party it away?

The college is located in an exclusive town that is not receptive to the college's growth so there is some tension there. The college could actually outgrow the town. You wouldn't have to worry about that for now. Plenty of activities nearby if you can drive. Boston is within 1.5 hours; NYC within @2.5. Skiing up north and closer. Beaches in driving distance. Shopping. Restaurants. Very close bus terminal to these locations if you don't want to drive. Nearby, Hartford offers plenty of insurance jobs.

This is a great school academically. The professors are amazing and are always available to you. You actually get to know the president on a one-on-one level. You have dinner with her in her home with others. She is amazing. The dorm life is good and the buidlings are in perfect conidition.

However, the social life here sucks. If you dont have a car on campus, then you are screwed. I dont have a car on campus and I feel like I am grounded here 24/7. Also there isnt much to do on campus either. On the weekends, I am totally and utterly bored. If you dont have a car, or doesnt have a friend who has a car...then youll be bored... If you dont want to party and go off campus, then dont come here because this is completely a dry campus. And one thing....the food here is really good.

Also another thing that sucks is that we dont have our own gymnsium...we have to use the high school gym and pool....this is because the town of longmeadow wont let us build...

I dont think I would transfer...you just need to find things to occupy your time,...if you dont then your gonna go crazy.

If you are interested in the Saturday program, be prepared to spend all of your free time studying. If you are married with children, be very informative before deciding on the program. A few of my fellow students ended up getting divorced during the program because of the intense studying involved. The school tends to be very interested in your money and less interested in your voice as a student. Some classes were top notch, as others were extremely repetitive of other classes. Choose wisely before deciding on this program.
