This is a nice, moderately-sized campus that is pleasant to explore if you are in Lowell. It has…read moreenough of an open feel to seem like you're taking a leisurely stroll while milling about. The architecture is nice enough given that it is a campus that is not as old as many, especially amongst those Universities in New England. The Saab Emerging Technologies and Innovation Building is a highlight, which is visible to your left as you cross the river into campus. Cumnock Hall with its columned front is another. Though I did not have time to take advantage of it, there is an Art Gallery on campus for those with such proclivities. The campus is not worth going out of your way to see, but if you happen to be in Lowell anyway...why not? There is a Starbucks on campus and a Dunkin across the street on the north end to reward you with a coffee and treat for your trouble.

The good news is that you don't have to work very hard here if you only care about the degree rather than the quality of education. The bad news is the professors are kind of jerks.

This is going to be tough - I've been to no other universities as a student, and a few things differentiate me from most of my peers. Plus, there are some bits of 'malarkey' not exclusive to Bentley. If someone in public asks me about Bentley, I automatically reply: "good school." This is true, but it is *also* a mirage. First, let me talk about some of the good: + For a business education, the curriculum is top-notch. Bentley has "GB" (General Business) classes all must take. These are on subjects of accountancy & finance, management, marketing, strategy, supply chain, and others. Business functions are highly interconnected. Having a basal understanding of how these functions work has helped me in my career. Bentley also has access to systems like Factset, Bloomberg, SAP, et al. Great for exposure, but not a replacement for on the job experience (more on that later). Also, you can't escape classes that have nothing to do with your major, but that is not unique to Bentley. + The people. Some of my closest friends today I met at Bentley. 'Characters' are everywhere, and all schools will have amazing profs and those who have no business teaching. Yet, I still whole heartedly stand by my statement that my peers were all incredible people. + Study Abroad. Bentley had an incredible catalog of int'l universities to choose from, and a great office to support those wishing to go abroad. I did my exchange semester in Vienna, and it was wonderful! + Career Services. The career services center at Bentley is top-notch. They are spectacular at helping with resumes, cover letters, etc. There is also a career site for students where employers can post jobs students can apply to. Further, some employers come to campus and conduct interviews on-site and then provide feedback! This was invaluable for me becoming better at interviewing. One caveat: internships. Neither my family nor I knew how imperative an internship is. By not having one I shot myself in the foot, big time. I wish Bentley had done a better job blatantly advertising how royally doomed you'd be in without one. I FOREWARN YOU NOW: some companies seek fresh grads with 1-2 years of professional experience. So, let's talk about the not-so good: During my time, Bentley spent over a million dollars renovating the student center. It was very nice when new. Yet, parts of it quickly fell into disrepair. But hey, it looks really sleek and modern when a prospective student is on tour. Another example: before Jennison Hall was renovated, the Accountancy lab had a touchscreen TV. You could click on a prof's picture and see a quiz question. Except, if you did so, after the first sentence it was Lorem Ipsum (filler text). Like I said, a mirage. These are not the only things that are monobuttockular (I keep my reviews "PG" rated - you might want to Google this one). Next, Bentley hosts activities on Friday and Saturday nights for those who choose to not party. However, these seem like they are from a teenager's birthday party where mom and dad were on a very tight budget. Further, attendance at these was sparse, people would come for five minutes and then go, and no wonder! Also hurting non-partiers, the main dining hall wouldn't open until much later on weekends. If you're an early-rising non-partier like me - all you have is Dunkin. Look, I am a business student, I know it's inefficient to pay salaries and run ovens and stoves for a few dozen people. Still, *something* would be nice. For student housing - I love that the dorms have A/C. That is a rarity and much needed, especially with today's climate. Also, some of the on-campus apartments (North Campus, specifically) are very nice. However, the roommate matching system is laughable. When smoking was allowed on campus, there were two questions: 1. Do you smoke? 2. Do you object to living with a smoker. That's it. Anything else, you were requested to figure it out (though you could switch if all else failed). There's also noise from the parties, but that is to be expected anywhere. Student Activities - During my time the activities went to being entirely student run. This was under the guise of allowing more "leadership" by students. Don't kid yourselves, it was to save money. Employers don't really care you were president of the xyz club, see above about internships. This change meant the clubs were less fun (even for regular members), and took away activities such as CBL - where speakers would come to the university. The food - I am approaching the character limit, so let's just say "abysmal". Of all of Sodexo's plans, Bentley has the lowest. There were steak tips once - that were completely raw inside. What can I say, I made friends for life, and was able to get my foot in a door and built my career.

Keep in mind graduation is May 21st. The lack of consideration for students that are considered out of state/ international is RIDICULOUS. I hope they feel guilty

I can't believe I'm saying it, but I truly miss this place! As someone whose attended more than a…read morefew colleges, I found MCC to be head and shoulders above its four-year counterparts. Firstly, in my experience, professors here are much more student-centered: many offer generous office hours and seem to be attuned especially to students with busy work lives (instead of neglecting students for the sake of conducting research and other personal interests). Additionally, whenever I needed assistance, it was always easy to track down the appropriate personnel and I wasn't given the bureaucratic run-around. I can't even begin to imagine the sheer number of students and the range of needs support staff must meet but they've always been extremely helpful to me. In fact, a few have gone above and beyond the call in terms of financial aid help, finding work-study opportunities for me and cultivating my interests outside of academics. Classes are also smaller: no need to endure Calculus or Physics in a cavernous lecture hall with hundreds of students when you might have 15 other students with you here. Courses are also substantially cheaper here so if you're diligent and plan your courses/transfer path carefully, you could save a fortune. I guess this is my valentine to MCC and community colleges in general. They're absolutely the backbone of our higher education system. I recently graduated with my bachelor's and getting into a master's program within the year and it's not hyperbole when I say it wouldn't have been possible for me (as I'm assuming it is for many) if it hadn't been for MCC.
