Bay State College

Date: Dec 20 2004
Major: Business - Management and Administration (This Major's Salary over time)
I am a 2nd year school, and the best way to look at this school is as an independent minor league team. Test the collegiate waters and be all you can be. In two years you should be able to make a nice adjustment into a bigger institution, either state college or big univeristy.

School activities, programs, bookstore, etc… is controlled by the dollar. This school is ran by a corporation and also it is tutiton-driven. Which means like in sports where fans pay for athletes salries, students pay for teachers salaries. The teachers are prety much young, and some seem inexperienced, one found this job on craigslist.org. Some are very respectable both academically and in the work field. Some teachers even grade on a scale, not sure if other colleges do that.

Around campus could be a hassle for both driving in and going from building to building. It is right in Boston's Back Bay which is expensive and weird at night. Don't leave your stuff alone anywhere. Like any city. For research projects definately use the Boston Library over the one on campus. Not too many jobs around on campus, but you're in a city. The school is primary commuter, so after school socializing is hard.

All in all it is a good school to get a good accredited education at the associate or now bachelors level, but it might prepare you for entrylevel employment (seek out internships and jobs on own), you'll probably want more education somewhere else.
