Major: Finance (This Major's Salary over time)
if i had to do the college application process all over again, bentley would not even be included on the original list. the only reason why i applied and went to bentley was because of their famed "trading room", as i wanted to concentrate in finance and eventually start a career on wall street.

first and foremost, bentley has no name outside of new england. investment banks looking to hire for summer internships and full-time positions will only look at target schools - ivies, MIT, stanford, carnegie mellon, nyu, maybe even BU and Babson. Employers will literally tell you during the interview,

Well my boss drives a Bentley but I've never heard of the school.
if you are looking for a career in anything but accounting, do not come here, you will pay for it in the form of something called unemployment.

i only suggest people come here for the accounting program, as many regional firms recruit from bentley. however, job placement for other majors, even finance, is quite horrid. for all the glory of bentley's trading room, finance majors will be able to select job opportunities from Penske (the truck rental company) and Swiss Finance Academy (which actually happens to be a scam but is still listed on bentley's recruiting website).

social life here is quite horrible. it can be summed up in one sentence: white kids playing beer pong in their tiny dorm room every single weekend. How many times can you play beer pong without getting bored?

the intellecual level of the student body is low, as there is no room for people with any sort of creativity. this is strictly a conformist school. that means if you are anything but an upper-middle class white kid from new england or new york, you will not fit in.

last but not least, bentley has an outrageous $4400 meal plan that every freshman is required to be on. for that type of money i expect close to 5-star dining. instead we are treated to hot dogs laying in platters full of grease, severely undercooked rice/potatoes, and other dishes that would be unfitting of even an ethiopian.

responseThis person is SAD and remember it is just one opinion. Moreover, his opinion is in the minority. My son loved the small classes and close student-teacher interaction. He attended a supposedly good state school in accounting and found Bentley to be FAR better.

Socially,it is a small school. However with Bentley,Brandies and other schools very nearby, social interaction can be quite good unless you are a dork,which this poster could very well be.

He criticized the food without any reference to comparison. I have seen other school's food. Bentley is actually better than most and not as good as some.It certainly ISN'T as bad as the poster would have you believe, but he never really saw a number of other school's cafeterias for comparison.

Check out the school. Make your own opinion. Most people on this site liked the school as does most in published forums. This joker is just one person with one opinion.

commentThis guy obviously isn't a student here. calling me SAD and a dork is stretching it to the limit. he is a guy with no life and too much time on his hands to be defending bentley so vigorously. cheers, alan shank
The food is unfitting of even an Ethiopian, you say? Who are you to make a judgment like that? I've eaten Ethiopian food like you before and it's actually quite tasty. Being the condescending prick you obviously are, you should be lucky you got in anywhere and aren't shining somebody's shoes!
commentDid you really mean to imply that Ethiopians are less deserving of good food than yourself? Your comment smacks of ignorance, insensitivity and confirms your comments about the inadequacy of a Bentley education. Apparently their curriculum perpetuates the stench of institutional racism which you so unfortunately carry. Educate Thyself!
