Nom Nom Nom

There are plenty of places on campus to grab a cup of joe, to socialize and meet up with friends, and to grab a quick bite. The campus is broken up into three sections upper, middle, and lower. Each has their own perspective dining hall which is great, one never has to walk far! People always complain that the food is not that great, but the students here tend to be used to a higher quality of life. Comparatively to other schools, Bentley's menu is quite efficient and delicious. There is buffet style, to fast order food.

Restaurants Off the Wazoo

Off campus dinning is amazing. There is a little farm stand called Wagon Wheel that the entire campus has been obsessed with recently. Another great place is Belagio's and of course the Chatau. The area has excellent Itallian. Has three greasy spoon restaurants within a close radius for hungover breakfasts! There is also a restaurant called Grassfields which is potentially my favorite resturant, some of the food there literally makes me drool, soo good! Another great place is Margaritas, which makes great drinks and Mexican food. There are a pleathora of Asian restaurants for decent take out, and a cute new tapas restaurant. In addition to all of these great restaurants you have you're normal late night places McD's Wendy's Burger King! These places are all in Waltham. I did not even start to mention the places in Watertown that are easily accessible, and of course Boston is just a shuttle away!

Bentley

It is easily a guys school, I joined a sorority because all of my friends were guys. I went to an All-girl's highschool, so the student demographic change was drastic. Do not get me wrong though, I love my guy friends. My best friends at school are guys. I joined two organizations though that I consider my family. WOBUS (Women of Bentley Ultimate Society) and Delta Phi Epsilon. Both groups of girls are what made me stay at Bentley. I have never had more fun, both groups of girls are incredibly down to earth, friendly, and determined. Bentley is very much a cookie cutter business school. If you want to go into Business, I have yet to listen to anyone describe a more educational, better experience at any other college than the one I am gaining at Bentley. The real life opportunities gained at Bentley, the fabulous support systems, all make for an easy transition into the 'real world.' Bentley really does more than prepare you, the entire atmosphere gets you into the right mindset to succeed.

Spring day is possibly my favorite day of the year, when people say "Work hard, play hard?" Bentley "works hard, plays harder." Alchohol is present at an extreme level, it is really hard not to drink at this school, the entire evironment constitutes drinking. My sister informed me "Colby is more relaxed drinking playing cards, Bentley students do that during the day on a Monday. I want to come back and dance party rage again." Clearly, the student body knows how to have fun!

Kids at Bentley tend to be a bit more determined than most other people I've met. They are extremely driven, and never think anything is good enough. Adderol is prevalent in most student's quest to achieve and it is my belief that it is just this high stress need to be better attitude that has constituted the level of alcohol abuse on campus. Gaining drugs is not hard at all, but you're either in the scene or you are not. If your friends do them, you will likely end up at parties with it present. Some of the frats will freak out if you bring drugs like cocaine to their houses, but other students freely trade it in secret. It is not necesary, and is considered another world, it is accessible and present.

The professors and faculty really do care about each individual student, the only issue I have with some are their accents. While they may be leaders in their field it does nothing if I cannot understand them, and their exams make no sense due to terrible translators.

Additionally the Library is amazing. The online databases and programs avaliable are so incredible. I am abroad currently and am constantly using Bentley's resources still! I really cannot stress how great they are!

Another great asset is the gym facility, it truly is state of the art. Working out there makes me happy with the view of the football field, t.v.'s to watch the latest shows, and tons of quality equipment.

The Career Services is also amazing, in fact I just recieved an email about avaliable internships in the area as I was typing this! They put on many events and offer great resume building workshops and aid!
