The school, in retrospect was not a good fit for my academic needs at the time. I put in barely enough effort to get by; and the work was neither challenging nor meaningful. The professors' performance varied from aloof to inept. The administration's main concern was compelling students to join the priesthood.

Everyone from the faculty to the dining hall workers is friendly and loves Bonaventure as much as the students do. Nothing compares to a Friday night basketball game in the RC. Olean might be somewhat of a deadbeat town, but if you are spending your weekend nights in Olean for fun, you are doing it all wrong. It really is a school you have to experience to understand why everyone who attends and stays all four years LIVES for Bonaventure. If you are looking to go to a school where your main focus is studying, this isn't the place for you.

I changed my major to Psychology which was better but still professors were arrogant and too "busy" to meet. The students are way too cliquey. Ultimately, I've decided to transfer. If all you want out of college is to party or be bored cause there is nothing to do...this is the school for you.

College is what you make of it. The faculty and people are nice. The school is in bubble fuck of nowhere, so if you're from a big city this is going to be a HUGE culture shock. The faculty is always ready and available to help. people know you on first and last name basis, so thats pretty cool. Now the nightlife here use to be pretty decent, 3-4 parties a nights, kegs and all that crazy shit. But last year some kid died of an overdose im guessing, so the cops have started to be really strict on the whole house party thing. So if you're a freshman and are thinking of coming here definitely get a fake ID to get into the bars, if you dont your nights will be ending early. However if you're thinking of going greek do not come here because there is no such thing as greek life. The basketball games are fun, and school pride is crazy. Goodluck in applying, and GO BONAS!
