Bentley University Top Questions

By its nature as a top business school, there is a wealthier, more politically conservative, maybe even a little bit stuffy of a population. I come from a pretty middle-class family, and I have had zero trouble making friends here who are down-to-earth. However, there are a pretty decent amount of kids here who think they are God's gift to the planet. Bentley has begun to offer a few liberal arts majors. I don't know why those students would ever choose to come here. It isn't because Bentley's LA program isn't good (because it is) but those students tend to be VERY liberal, anti-corporate America (you know, the type of people who think that all "wall street-type" people are all about screwing over the "little guy" and that there is some giant conspiracy for corporations to rape the world for money), and all the other stereotypes that come with extreme liberals. For a liberal arts major to attend this school is much like a member of the Ku Klux Klan deciding to attend an HBCU school (HBCU= Historically Black Colleges and Universities). Students here also tend to be very motivated, career-oriented, and driven. You would be surprised how many students arrive here freshman year with a very good direction of where they want to head in life. Internships are highly sought-after. This leads to high job placement. Right now, April 2008, in the middle of a recession (yes, it is a recession), with a crummy job market, I'd say 95{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of seniors I know already have a job. The ones that don't are the students who didn't start thinking about employment until around February of their senior year.
