Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

The Bentley experience is hardly a normal college experience, and the majority of students here would choose Bentley again in a heartbeat. From day one, you are set on a track to receive a unique business education. Hard work and effort are mandatory, but the rewards are endless. The combination of intense business and fun liberal arts courses creates well-rounded students that employers love to sign on. Students who are unhappy with their Bentley experience are usually those who find the school to be more business-focused than they had expected. But those who become immersed in the atmosphere always find it to be exciting, strenuous, and worth while.

Bentley students have the opportunity to interact with professors who are leaders in the field, learn from renowned companies in the classroom, and have access to the latest technology. This creates a distinctive class of business schools in which Bentley is quickly becoming a leader. From the relatively diverse campus to the professor-student relationships and general campus life, the University is so much more than "just a business school." If you want to have a college experience that you can reflect back on and say you received an excellent real-world business education, were exposed to state-of-the-art technology, and had a good time while doing it, then Bentley is for you.

Diversity at Bentley University

Not Too Diverse

Bentley is not too diverse. They claim they are so diverse, but I would disagree. They have a lot of white people and a few diverse people. I would not go as far as to say that they are a diverse school, but more diverse than other schools around the area.

Buses Are Pretty Good

Bentley buses are pretty good, but they are not the best. They are sometimes late or they don't come at all. However, this is pretty much the only option to get off campus. So, you have to take it unless you have a car or want to take a taxi.
