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.

International Student POV - Picked Bentley over Babson

My time here has been awesome! Bentley attracts really nice and brilliant people that make you stop and think, "Hey why didn't he or she go to an Ivy". The internationals here are amazing and friendly. Being an international myself, we all shared this open hospitality and friendship towards each other. I do wish I had a bit more American friends but it is hard making full-on American friends because of a wall most put up when talking to them. They still are friendly though! Challenge yourself here!!! Do not just take classes that will boost your GPA otherwise why are you in college?!?! Make use of every opportunity here and there are many; work hard, and play hard as well! Bentley has a much better atmosphere than Babson. A nicer campus and the people here make it worth your while!! I am VERY HAPPY choosing Bentley over Babson! Academics and reputation here keep on improving!

Bentley's community is what attracted me to the school and what makes it unique. Also, the learning environment and classroom setup definitely makes it easier to learn. the resources Bentley has allows access to different tools to help get the subject matter across.

Come to Bentley!

Bentley is a great community to be a part of. While you do have to pay attention to your studies, it is also easy to have a great social life. There are plenty of events and activities going on, and if not, there's always someone willing to head into the city. It was definitely the right choice of schools for me.
