Granted, I only attended Bay Path for a semester, but that was even more than I wish I had. Like all schools, Bay Path had both good and bad aspects. Unfortunately, however, the cons of this school far outweigh the pros. To put it fairly, I did come to a school as an out of state student and I dormed and I would contribute my negative experience to that. The town the college is located in is located in a small town, with very little to do. There are colleges within the area, but unless you have access to a car and friends, you may be stuck and isolated at the college. There was not enough events at the dorms to stay active and fulfilled. A high percentage of the residents (and general population of the school) is extremely liberal, bisexual, or a lesbian. People here do not value traditional standards, and if you are looking for that, stay far away from this school. Social life is dead, and if you are coming here on your own for the first time, be prepared to feel very isolated. Even being an adventurous individual taking opportunities of the campus events, I found the atmosphere and events on and off campus to be minimal and dull. In addition, the campus is extremely small. Everyone will know you, and know your business. Again, if you do not enjoy this kind of thing, do not go to this school. It is like a high school. You will feel like you are in a goldfish bowl.

More important, college is about academics. That is where this school does well in. Because of the small population of students, faculty is able to pay close attention to students and the relationship can be personal and learning and growth can happen. I was in the Occupational Therapy program and found the curriculum to be the right amount of challenging, and the faculty to be incredibly friendly and helpful. As far as resources, this school is severly lacking. You think that with all the tuition you spend, the school would invest in a bigger library with more computers and resources, but they don't. The library is tiny, with only a very limited amount of computers and a terrible printer system.

This school often promotes woman empowerment, and being leaders, but you find that the faculty treats their students like little girls they baby. It is very misleading, and degrading.

If you have an open mind, like to learn new things, and want to be in a challenging and atmosphere where you will grow, I would stay far away from this school.

If you think you can tolerate all these things, by all means, attend this school. But please do yourself a favor, and don't be a resident on campus.
