Bentley University- This is a fantastic school right outside of Boston, which specializes in Business, but is not just limited to this concentration. Bentley has an extremely high-tech campus with seven officially high-tech buildings and they even have a 3-D printer accessible for student use. The student population of 4,200 allows for small class sizes and personal relationships with professors. Bentley is a very active campus with 80% of the students participating in varsity or club sports, and 80% of students choose to live on the beautiful green campus all four years. Their top three majors are management, marketing, and finance, and business students have access to one of the nation’s best trading rooms on a college campus. Business students are given real money from the college to trade with and learn from. With career preparation and readiness at the forefront of Bentley’s mission, they are happy to report that 98% of seniors in the past few years have been placed in jobs or are in graduate school after 6 months.
College of Mount Saint Vincent- Small, Catholic Liberal Arts School of 1,500 students located in Riverdale, NY right off of the 1 train. The biggest majors are nursing, business, and biology, and they have an excellent pre-med track program. They also offer solid business majors in areas such as marketing, finance, and business administration, where they offer a 5 year Master’s program. They are situated on a 70 acre campus right on the Hudson River. 65% of students live on campus and the majority of students come from the 5 boroughs and New England. To stay competitive with NY State schools, Mount Saint Vincent has actually reduced their total cost of attendance. They are now at $29,000 for tuition, room, and board, which is an incredible deal. This is before merit scholarships and financial aid which is available to most students.
University of Notre Dame- Notre Dame has five current colleges that include Architecture, Arts and Letters, Business, Engineering, and Science. Starting in the fall of 2017 they will open their 6th college, which will be the School of Global Affairs, housing such majors as international relations, political science, international economics, and some foreign language program. Notre Dame in currently on an initiative to improve their engineering program to become one of the nation’s best and a ton of money is going into their program right now. Architecture majors spend five years at Notre Dame, where they spend their entire junior year in Rome and then finish their 4thand 5th year at Notre Dame where they complete their architecture license. The essay is extremely important to their admissions, so make sure this is done well! There is no Greek life at Notre Dame, but dorm life is very important to students, and dorms even have their own mascots. 100% of all family need is met by ND and on average, students leave ND with only $20,000 in loans. Finally, starting on October 27th, Newark and LaGuardia airports will offer flights to South Bend’s airport.
