20 Best Mba Programs In Worcester, MA (2022 Updated)

I'll preface this review by saying I am a parent of a student nearing completion of 2 years at Assumption. The campus and facilities are well kept, safe, clean and relatively modern. Like any institution, the staff is a mixed bag. We've had several instances of communications going unanswered, requiring follow up before a response is given or otherwise not rising to the level of what you'd wish for, when committing your child and a high level of financial support to any business. I'll also say that in the time of covid, things are more complicated for all businesses and families, not just Assumption. That said, when circumstances are difficult, authentic character is revealed. After returning to campus for a 'hybrid' semester, the kids who chose to try and have a semblance of normal college life, have been gravely disappointed. The protocols are strictly enforced, and most people (including me) understand they are a necessary fact of life today. Abiding by social distancing, masks, twice weekly testing and other processes must be embraced and I have no qualms with that stance. That said, Assumption has a policy disallowing all resident students from leaving campus, except in the most narrow of circumstances. Even doctor visits have been challenging for students and have required parental intervention before being approved. The mental health of many are suffering due to this policy. All the while, staff, administrators, vendors, security and all commuting students are allowed to come and go at will on a daily basis. The school professed in a recent letter that "commuting students have not led to an increase in virus transmission". If that is true, why then aren't the remainder of the students allowed to follow those same policies as long as they abide by standard protocols? As we have all experienced, human interaction and cautious freedom of movement are all part of a human being's wellness. Our child and many others, are being made to suffer by the university's, inflexible, extreme policy. If that policy were uniformly enforced for everyone attending Assumption, it might be easier to accept. Seeing hundreds of people come and go on a daily basis, while others are literally suffering in silence is devastating as a parent and as a human being with empathy. The school and its president are not available and open to communicate on this subject either. A recent post I submitted to the Facebook group, written respectfully and thoughtfully was disallowed. A recent Zoom call was held to address student concerns and the administrators kept attendees muted, disallowed cameras and didn't provide the ability to interact and genuinely communicate two ways. College is supposed to teach kids how to think for themselves, form opinions and demonstrate their independence. It's part of the educational package, which is not purely an exercise in passing tests. Assumption continually follows a pattern of carefully controlled communications instead of embracing a diversity of thought. I am a working professional and have been impacted by covid same as everyone in the world. My company has changed its policies and the situation is ever evolving. That said, I am not aware of any other walk of life, where coming/going is all but disallowed. Even prisoners are allowed familial visits, with safety protocols followed. If a student had a toothache, nobody would prevent him/her from seeking relief, but for anyone suffering depression, anxiety and mental anguish in part because they cannot simply blow off steam by meeting their parents for breakfast is told to 'stay resilient'. Shameful and draconian.Jonathan Jacobs

I drove an hour to watch the football game today. The email sent to the opposing team (us) said "All guests must be fully vaccinated, over the age of 12 years old, etc…. I am sure I was not and won't be the last person to misunderstand that statement as being "Anyone 12 and over has to be vaccinated" and not understood as "Children under 12 are not allowed". While written properly, this was extremely deceiving compared to the rules posted on your site (which I decided to search after the fact) that says CLEARLY no one under 12 will be allowed on campus. My 3 year old who is not even PERMITTED to be vaccinated and who was thoroughly looking forward to coming to the game was in tears when we had to turn around and go back home. My family has gone to almost all of the football games this season in various states and not once has there been such strict, unreasonable rules about an OUTDOOR event. Experience PART ONE. Experience PART TWO- When I pulled on to the campus, the security guard asked if I had a guest pass. I said No. He said, "OK then, pull up the hill and you'll see the main parking." I proceeded to do so. Less than 5-10 minutes after I pulled in, my father in-law pulled in and was asked the same question. Do you have a guest pass? He answered No. The exact same answer as I. Help me understand why he was told he couldn't proceed through the gate but I, who answered with the same exact answer, was allowed to pass? First of all, neither one of us should have been allowed to pass because we, again, had not been required to "register" to attend a game AT ANY OTHER SCHOOL this season. But secondly, I am a 35 year old Caucasian female and he is an older black male. You must understand that the rules that applied to him and didn't apply to me looks really, REALLY bad on behalf of your school. ALMOST DONE… These rules stated on your site which as I said I searched after the fact say, "In addition to being fully vaccinated, guests must follow current Assumption University health protocols, including the current mask wearing policy. Lastly, at this time tailgating of any sort is not allowed on campus." Since your guard so kindly allowed me to pass the gate without a guest pass, I was able to go onto the campus and see a designated parking lot FULL of Assumption tailgaters, NOT social distanced and NOT wearing masks. So basically what I understood from this is AGAIN the rules that apply to the visiting team did not apply to the Home team. And to close… "all guests must register to come to campus five days prior to arrival.." Five days prior… Is it realistic to think that the friends AND family of the visiting teams would even THINK that they'd have to go "REGISTER" to attend the next game only two days after their last game after watching games ALL season without any issue?? I can only hope and pray that you look into all of the above and not just disregard the happenings surrounding my TERRIBLE experience today at your school. Thank you! And congratulations on your Team win. I hope it was the encouragement of your home team fans that really gave your team the push. Your great efforts to keep out visiting spectators worked. Oh and I forgot to add, my father in-law and our family friend who was with him are Military Veterans so to hear on the virtual viewing of the game that you all were celebrating "Military Appreciation Day" really put the cherry on top.Bonnie Senecal

The service at Taylor's dining hall is horrible and so is the quality of food. It doesn't even deserve 1 star. In my many experiences visiting my sister and eating here, they always close early and never have any food for those who have allergies. I'm allergic to gluten and the only option I have are carrots and hamburgers, in which most of the time I can't eat with having to go up 700 time to ask for more. I paid $12 to eat at an all you can eat buffet and I get to eat not even enough to count as a snack. If you try to ask for more the first time they will say no and then if you even want to have a small conversation while eating the first helping, they will be closed and take away all the food. Also the events for the family weekends and everything suck and are a waste of money. You have more chances of having fun if you just stay home and sleep.MacKenzie

I work here as staff and find the working environment pretty good. My bosses have been good, my coworkers are dependable, and the students seem well behaved and conscientious (most of the time). The new buildings are nice, and the harbor walk is kind of amazing, and the beach is very chill. Good luck finding a place as tranquil anywhere else near the city. There is however one small con and one big con.. the small con is that there aren't that many places to eat and Sodexo runs all the food on campus, and their attempts at ethnic foods are sad. And the aforementioned big con is that there is no less than 3 buildings being built on this tight peninsula right now, and one huge building that was taken down over the year I've been here.. the construction is a mess. Though the new, finished buildings, like the science complex, are great. But if you can take the T somehow, as I do, this place is fantastic.Mikhail M. Nitko

UMASS Boston has a Beautiful campus on the waterfront! It is building two Brand new buildings as student housing with a dinning hall on the first floor, overlooking the Boston harbor with a million dollar view. UMASS Boston has a collaborative research program with Dana Farber Cancer Institute that students can be a part of. I love the new Integrated science center, incubating many New exciting NIH sponsored science research studies. It is an exciting time for UMASS Boston which has a new chancellor with generous scholarship. Chancellor merit scholarship will allow students to get world class education for free.Khuong Nguyen

I am a student here at UMB, the professors are great. The administration is bureaucratic and inefficient and lacks transparency on any basic level. Parking here is dependent upon arrival time. If you get here at 10:20 good luck finding a space in bayside, probably will have to park at the globe. Clinical placement sites for Nursing are good, labs are good, the school is constantly under construction and areas are always being blocked off. Parking will soon cost between 9-15 dollars a day according to emails from the uni. So it’s alright but the university is slowly draining the life of its commuters.Bill Whitney

Went on a visit with my grandson with a preconceived perception of an intercity campus as I know them from intercity campuses in the NJ vicinity. I was pleasantly surprised by Wentworth with both the campus and it's facilities. Not some some armed containment area to keep students on campus, but rather free and open both in and around it. Note that Wentworth isn't some White enclave in the middle of crime, destuction, and filth, but rather a charming, not overwhelming campus, in a large city environment geared to provide a superior education to all who choose to attend. FYI, Boston has a population of some 250,000 college students so attention concerned parents, if little Madison or Josh can't get a date there's hope for them in Beantown!Fred Pucylowski

I was blown away by this school. I had low expectations being it is a very small school with a very high acceptance rate. I had never heard of the school and my daughter put it on her list as a "safety school." After attending the open house I hope it rises to one of her top choices. The campus is very quaint and comfortable. Felt very safe. It is surrounded by 5 other colleges. Very short walk to any class. Great program offerings, staff seems genuinely interested in the student's success. Great hands on learning and resources.S Heins

It is an excellent school. I was accepted to Northeastern University, to the University of Massachusetts and many other good colleges. It boiled down to the school’s teaching setup. The school offered smaller class sizes and more one on one instruction. And then it was finalized by asking a few headhunters that if I had four identical resumes which school would stand out and it was Wentworth. Case closed.Jeremy Gold

Most of the bad reviews are coming from people who had ONE bad experience at like the book store or whatever or i gEt tHiEr aDs oN hUlu, though the veteran who shared his story probably has a decent case to make. Anyway I got a business degree from this college and if you actually try you can do really really well here, with great professors and programs like the honors program which gives high level learning at bottom dollar, and wonderful faculty like the folks at PTK, disability services, or the Fuller Center. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to work on regarding graduation rates, the food, no one card system, etc but I couldn't give this place anything less than 5 stars because of all of the wonderful people who give 110% here, especially in those departments I mentioned. If you live in Worcester don't spend 30k a year to go to Assumption, you'll save so much money to come here. Seek opportunity, study for your tests, respect your professors and faculty, and most importantly, do your damn homework; I guarantee you'll be a success at this place if you do all of these things.Clark Kent

The qcc "police" are some of the most unqualified and unempathetic people in the area. There is no doubt they have no training, no expertise in law and zero idea of what they are doing. Maybe they should take some courses while they work their jobs at qcc in criminal justice. Maybe they can get a handle on their jobs. Maybe they should take some training courses with the state police. If they do already, Maybe they should pay attention.Last First

This is an awesome school and I am so disappointed that one teacher ruined it all for me. DO NOT take Professor Jane Joyce accounting classes or any classes from her. She is awful and not a good teacher in general. You will waist your money, time, and probably want to rip your hair out when she talks. I have been at this school for about two years now and never have I come across a teacher like her.Lindsay Vigliotti

Harvard is one of the most prestigious universities in the World and every one wishes to visit it once in a life time. I had this chance to go there and walk around this beautiful institute. The good thing is that it is open for all and everyone could go around and visit. I saw many tourists there enjoying walking and taking photos. The good thing which I liked was that seeing people doing Yoga in the open space and in nature. I liked that and participated with them in yoga. A must visit place if you are in Boston or around.Salim Khoso

It was nice walking around Harvard university . I would recommend either taking a guided tour or to download and follow the self guided tour so you understand the history behind the university. I loved the library and the story behind it. Unfortunately wasn’t able to go inside but would have loved to. There is small water splash where I think kids can play had we planned better and known about it.Meghna Rao

Great place and one of the oldest & finest universities in the world. This is a dream place for some students. This institute is very inspiring and admiring. The Widener library is well established. Massachusetts Hall is one of the oldest buildings. Harvard Yard is very amazing to look around. The university has a great history and great heights touched.Hari Swaroop

I will say that all schools have there administration issues. Some of the reviews here are a reflection of a particular professor or financial aid issue which should be in no way a reflection of the overall college. The college is a beautiful place to attend with numerous private beaches and has an overall elegant esthetic appearance. The college has it's own public safety and is a blue light district. I will say that I myself have had a few minor issues with professors and the Dean of my school but regardless there is a procedure through the college to handle any issues someone may have with a member of the staff. Unfortunately some people chose not to educate themselves on how to deal with problems rather than go on google and write poor reviews about an overall great university with an internship program that could turn many peoples lives around. The university is also a great provider of education for young mothers who want to make a life for themselves and their child. I would highly recommend to ANYONE to attend Endicott College!Tayla Bagley

Beautiful campus. I was there for the graduation ceremony on 5/17/18. Very efficient system of getting people to and from the stadium. They provided bused, shuttle vans and golf carts. The ceremony was really good and tge students spoke highly of their experiences. Definitely a place to look into for a future degree.Greta A. Douglas

This is by far the most beautiful college campus I've ever seen. They've put an amazing amount back into the place over the years and it's gone from a small 2 year school to a fantastic robust 4 year college with a graduate school. How many other colleges in the area have their own beaches?Mike Natale

It’s unfortunate that I have to write this review but I am in hopes of MCPHS revising their admissions process for the Physician Assistant Program. I know that I was not the only student this year that was invited to interview and then closed out of an interview spot and placed on a waiting list. When I contacted MCPHS they told me that I may not get to interview after all as they had accidentally invited too many people to interview and did not have the resources to open up more interview dates even though acceptances are not on a rolling basis. How does a top tier medical university not have the resources to interview all the students they invited? By choosing to interview solely the people that happened to secure spots first, not only are they limiting the potential of their incoming class and proving that they only care about filling the spots for monetary reasons, but they are limiting the future of numerous successful students who worked hard to get an interview invitation. When I asked Jordan Hunt (admissions counselor) to make sense of this she was unable to provide a competent answer besides that the university messed up and the incoming students are the ones facing the repercussions. I’m not writing this for myself, but for the other students who were too timid to speak up or who had chosen this school as their top choice and then got screwed. I truly feel bad for some of the other incoming students who do not have other options and were relying on MCPHS. I am very disappointed. MCPHS either needs to change their interviewing process to rolling acceptances (interviewing the top tier students first and then going down the line) or they need to use this model but be willing to open up more dates in case of overflow. Side note: They informed me that students on the waiting list could be notified up to a day before an interview that a spot had opened up. Do they not take into consideration that everyone doesn’t live near Boston or works full-time? Extremely dissatisfied with this supposedly “top tier” medical college.Maddy Frank

Hey guys, good for all the students giving great remarks. I don't know if the school has paid you. I must say i was in the nursing program , ( the set that started 2005) the teachers were very bad. Everything was very difficult, out of 50 students that got into the nursing program only 15 students or even less that graduated from the program. Judy Murphy was very racist, no room for improvement. It was a very bad school. I will recommend another school any day any time as matter off fact the school needs to refund money back to students that paid for tuition. All they care about is your money and not the students. It was a very traumatic experience. It was one of the worst decision i have ever made in life to attend that college. I Owe up to 100,000 in debt with no nursing degree to show for. I thank the Almighty God i got my degree from another school with no stress or frustration. Guys open your eyes and look for another school. I wish you all luck in your careers endeavors.louisa ngige

I just finished my second-year in PharmD program in MCPHS. I’m gonna transfer to Worcester to study the accelerated program. I have had great time in MCPHS so far. All professors are very nice and friendly. I haven’t met any professor who’s not willing to help student wholeheartedly. They always have office hours to answer students’ inquiries and to clarify the lecture in case the students don’t understand. There are absolutely no discrimination in MCPHS. It’s all about respect. Every MCP student is very welcoming so we have a very close-knit community in MCP. The program is well-designed and bearable. Sometime I feel overwhelmed but it’s not impossible to pass as many people say. You just need to put time and effort and you’ll be fine. In short, MCPHS is a great university for those who seriously pursuit a professional career in pharmacy and health sciences.Bill Nguyen

To start off, the academics or classes you take are more like ones in high school you take. It doesn't make it interesting unless you are in a special major such as culinary, equine, robotics, or something of that nature. The culinary classes I was in were something. Definitely had ups and downs but it may not be worth it since some skills you learn may never be used again. Your grandmother can probably be a better instructor. Now the living situations, the dorms are alright. It is difficult to live with others since you want them to revolve around your schedule but you also have to revolve around theirs. I always had bad roommates. You know ones that stay up late (up till 2 in the morning), snore, drink, smoke weed in the room, etc. It is probably just me that I can't live with others. You can change rooms but there have been less and less dorm rooms over the years. The worst part is that when you pick your room, you are given a random time to schedule. Best bet is to have the least amount of roommates as possible and having a private bathroom in your room. Don't want to be sharing the bathrooms and showers with hundreds of other people (bring some sandals and/or slippers). The dining situation kind of blows. For a school known for a culinary program, you could cook something better. There are less dining halls than when I started. The only option for breakfast is Starbucks. Lunch and Dinner is okay. Two dining options include all you can eat which is great. The menu changes every meal but you will see the same menu items a few weeks later. Everything also closes early on the weekends. Obviously, you don't want to spend so much money on take-out and delivery so best bet is get your food from a dining hall before it closes. The meal plan can be managed. You got either 7, 10, 14, or 18 meals a week. Each plan comes with flex which is a certain amount of dollars you can spend at the dining halls if you don't want a full meal or something that isn't part of a meal swipe. Best go with 10 or 14 meals a week.Adam DeLeon (CharlieChopDog1)

I miss it!! 😭😭 Graduated Nov '19 (the last fall term with trimesters). Jwu really stands out with their career focus an all the networking opportunities via professional clubs and career fairs. There study abroad options are impressive! I was lucky enough to attend a semester at sea. Taking core courses that are taught by former industry professionals makes going to class sooo worth it. Stand out professors are Prof. Rhodes, Lavin, and Boker. 10 out of 10 experience / at times, i felt like it was worth the price tag just for them. Providence is such a cool vibe. It feels like a little slice of Boston… Without the traffic and big-city-feel nuisances. (This is also coming from somebody who thought that they did not like cities at all) On Thursdays, (also because most students don't have class on Fridays), the city will literally feel like it's coming alive. Great energy around here even though there's homeless people who consistently panhandle. (You'll get to know the familiar faces and they'll leave you alone- definitely not a deal breaker). I highly recommend getting your own apartment right away because it's outrageously priced otherwise. That is, unless you're on a full ride and room & board is covered. Although, one semester of on-campus housing is helpful in an effort to make friends. This is very cliche to reference the university mantra… but "pride, courage, character, and community" really do define what the school is. I'm very proud to be a wildcat for life and am forever grateful to have the connections I made there.Andy B

I think it’s crazy that local guides can give reviews when they know nothing about the experience of actually going to the college. Johnson & Wales was the worst choice I ever could have made in a college, which is really sad knowing I chose this school in honor of my grandfather who went here, and passed away right before getting to see me go to college. Professors are the only good part of the school. All the other workers who work in the offices, the actual people who run the school as a whole – a literal joke. The entire school is a joke. Student loans? Not worth it. This is a school that does not care about its students like it portrays that it does. Do not waste your time, you can get a better education and a better college experience probably at any. other. school.Kassie Kania

I graduated from Our Lady of the Elms in 1964, one of 4 Chemistry majors. Afterwards, I worked for the FDA in New York City, the Chemical Abstracts Service in Columbus, OH, and, in 1968, joined the Papal Volunteers for Latin America. I underwent training at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., and at the Catholic University of Puerto Rico in Ponce. In December, 1968, I arrived in Lima, Peru, where I was assigned to research enzymes in fish meal protein at the Catholic University of Peru. Shortly afterwards, I adopted a tiny baby girl, who is a graduate of the University of St. Thomas, in Houston, TX. I've also lived in Belize, became a technical translator and editor, and ran 2 corporate libraries in Houston. In 1989, I earned a TX teaching certificate in Composite Science, and , in 2001, an MEd in Science Curriculum and Instruction. These are just a few of my accomplishments, and I credit my fantastic education and dedicated faculty at the Elms for my successes. Now, at the age of 73, I am a 50-year member of the American Chemical Society, tutor for Houston Community College, as well as privately, and drive the Houston freeways, I've encountered may challenges along the way, but I'm well prepared.Ann Kelley

I transferred to Elms from HCC and was pleasantly surprised by my experience there. I loved that the campus was small and I loved that because of that, each student got more one on one help. The dining hall is beautiful and new, the library is comfortable and the people there are helpful, and the professors are all amazing at what they do. I wish I could have stayed there to continue my education!Rhea Huggins

I think this college is amazing and the most welcoming I am a temp and ever since I started working at elms I have felt nothing but warm welcoming I love the staff they are so bubbly and definitely have great personalities.Michelle Robinson

It's a good 4 year university for commuters and fairly cheap compared to other 4 year universities around the Boston area. I am going into my 4th year now at Salem State and I can say if you don't have a morning class you better leave early for parking because there's simply not enough.Evett Ruiz

I had a wonderful experience during my years at Salem! Professors were bright, enthusiastic, and imparted their knowledge in a style which resulted in valuable tools to use throughout my career. Of most value to me were my courses in law, economics, and psychology.Jodi Paris

You can get a great education here–the faculty are dedicated and there's lot of great opportunities. However, the price continues to skyrocket from when I went here. Do two years first at a community college and save yourself $10000s.Lance Eaton

If you don't want to leave High School then Lasell is the right place for you. Lasell is just another High School, there are tons of cliques and they are all judgmental and rude, some racist. If you are thinking about going here please read this review and consider it. There will be a Facebook group made for your graduating class. This page is supposed to help you find others going to the college and helps you make friends. However, for me and my very few friends I met there agree that the Facebook group is the worst thing to have ever been created. I went to orientation nervous as hell but in the back of my mind I thought that everyone was nervous because no one knows each other. And then I got to orientation and everyone already had their friends and I was alone. That was the worst weekend of my life. No one talked to me and every time I tried to talk to others, they would look at each other and walk away as if I had a disease. After that weekend I learned about the Facebook group… Then September came and I tried to be open-minded but that didn't last too long. The house I was in was basically a Sorority and I don't remember pledging. There were so many problems just because they would listen to my roommates and I through our closet. We know this because there are things they couldn't possibly know without listening to us. The kids there are also racist. A friend of mine had keys thrown at her while being called "Porcelain doll" by her RA. As for my RA, my roommate had severe alcohol poisoning and knocked on our RA's door for help, but instead our RA turned her music up and didn't answer. A couple weeks later we heard that our RA was talking highly of never answering her door. The school also does not take mental illness seriously. I had gone to multiply professors and explained to them about my depression and anxiety and all they had to say was, "I feel bad" and then they would brush it off. The academics suck as well. Unless you're a fashion or athletic training major then all other majors are not taken seriously. You won't actually get to your major until maybe Junior year. They lie at orientation saying you jump right into your major, because you don't. This school wasted my time and my money. I never thought I could get any worse then I have after being there. My depression had gotten worse and my self-esteem plummeted. They told me to visit the counseling house but why would do that since I hated the school? I would be careful making your decision on going to this school and make sure to look at everything.Avalon

I can't wait to tell people about my experience here at Lasell College once I graduate! It has been an honor to meet everyone here on campus and get to know them on personal levels. I truly feel ready for the working world because of the classes I've taken and the professors help. The dorms that I have lived in for the past four years have been fantastic! They really made me feel safe and at home here on campus. I played a sport here on campus too and that even made my experience here even more enjoyable. Traveling around the MA area is also great. We are in-between two T-stations which is a quick and easy train ride into Boston which allows for a lot of fun activities. I give this school a grading of an A because it was truly an amazing experience and I will miss it dearly when I graduate.Allyson Parabicoli

Depending on a student's individual needs, Lasell has thus far, far exceeded every expectation and concern, including non-traditional issues. Continually (almost by the week) tweaking, exploring, and honing the fine skill of higher education with today's ever changing criteria in mind. For those who want to learn, study here. If you have a vacation in mind, go somewhere else. Near perfect flexibility re, campus life, hybrid, online and intensive/accelerated courses. Great location, staff, and cost effectiveness. Check out Boston Globe article from 9/22/2013.J Todd

I attended the reunion this weekend as a husband. It was an overall pleasurable experience. The campus itself is very nice and meticulously maintained. Bathroom facilities adequate but nothing extraordinary. The BBQ on Saturday afternoon was nice because it was on campus in a very nice area. Music a bit loud for mid afternoon. Food, not great. I really liked the coozie they gave out. The class party Saturday night for the 10 year peeps was fascinating. It was inside a recreation center which seemed like an odd choice given the plethora of really nice areas on campus. The food selection there I thought was good but many in the group strongly disagreed with that sentiment. The tortellini was on point even tho it seemed to light a bit of a fire under my seat if you catch my drift. I was a little disappointed at all events that I had to pay 7$ for a bud light after already purchasing tickets. I will say we popped over to the 5 year reunion and wow, what a treat that event was. Overall it was a nice weekend, BC seemed to do my wife well as she is very smart. Her friends are also very cool. So I would recommend the college. We may send our kids there if my plan to hit the lottery multiple times comes to fruition. Mods for life.Joseph Moran

This review is just the physical campus and has nothing to do with the school's curriculum or getting accepted into the University. That said, this is the most beautiful campus I have ever seen in my life. It was a complete surprise and got me completely off guard. All of the buildings have the same gothic, sandstone color vibe. The campus was spectacularly clean and pristine.Michael Mitchell

Beautiful campus, positive energy from students, close to scenic Chestnut Hill reservoir for jogging and walking ,top notch academics, great experience. My son had truly outstanding professors who helped pave the way for success after college. Formed meaningful friendships that will last a lifetime. We expected a lot from Boston College and it exceeded expectations!shane shammy

The first thing I will say about this school is that the student population is one of the rudest and meanest student populations in the country. Everyone I have met at this place is all about appearing cool and smart, and if you don't go to school here you are looked down upon. The dorms are absolutely terrible here and most buildings are made of concrete. Most state universities are the pride of the state but I don't think people view UMass that way. The school used to have friendly students and a low tuition/fees, now it is the exact opposite. When you go to Umass you are paying for a college experience, your not paying for a quality education. Public schools are a major part of the downfall of society, and this school is a perfect example of a school doing that. Every time I have been on this campus I am not acknowledged and if you don't conform to Umass standards you are an outsider. I understand education is important but the students/staff could at least show some respect to people outside their clique of Umass society. Umass has gotten better in some aspects but in many aspects it is still failing. It is not a open minded campus. I think most people who leave this school are so absorbed into a career mindset that they forget that life is about more than just a career and income. A major problem with universities especially UMass is people choose a very narrow path of education. People should be interested in many different fields of knowledge rather than what their major is. Education continues after leaving a school but Umass acts like it ends when you leave school.Jessie Robinson

Great college and infrastructure. This is one of the largest university in New England and very good for computer science and related fields. pros: Good university with excellent infrastructure and ideal environment for student life. Most of the buildings are new and in good condition. Since there is a large student body, you will find many different kinds of student activities like sports activities and other extra curricular activities. Cons: Since the university is not located near big city, Not all companies come for the career fairs.santhosh kumar

Great school in one of the best college towns anywhere in the country. Great atmosphere, top notch education, and now some amazing new facilities. Proud to be an alum. Plus, as I meet people throughout my life, I just find Umass people to be among the nicest, most grounded, least pretentious, and friendliest people I've ever met. In fact I even married one.Kevin Paolillo

Absolutely horrible when it comes to sports and treatment of opposing teams. They have no respect or boundaries. They completely don't take the announcements before the games seriously when they mention no slurs or prejudice. And campus police or staffing barely stopped them from getting too close to the opposing team when trying to intimidate the opposing team. They slandered the opposing team telling them to go back to their "dirty" city and mentioned not speaking Spanish because they don't speak Spanish there. Shameful! Such ignorant, non cultured school.Rachel

I don't find the students our teachers "snobby", like some reviews suggest. The professors definitely expect hard work and effort, and are pretty demanding. But they also will go out of their way to help you learn, including outside of normal office hours. They truly care that you learn, and don't just churn out degrees like most colleges now. The business graduate school rivals Harvard in quality, but also teaches a technology focus like MIT. You can't beat the grad school here, especially the taxation program.David

School with racist students and irresponsible office of student conduct that doesn’t take things seriously. On April 18th 2021 my girl friend and I were assaulted by three (two male one female) Bentley students. While the director of student conduct did write us back that they were going to follow up with their police detective, no updates were made. This was a traumatizing experience and is frustrating that they did not take any action with the report. I am very disappointed with Bentley and their students.Eurey Noguchi

If you are someone like me, who wanted to consistently apply the knowledge that I gained inside the classroom, no one does applied learning better than Northeastern. Not only is NU the global leader in experiential education, its Co-op network is the largest on planet Earth. In fact, NU has Co-ops on all seven continents. NU’s Co-op Program also happens to be one of the oldest at more than one hundred years old. As an extremely proud alumnus who lives and works in New York City, I cannot recommend Northeastern University enough. In terms of the quality of educational experience, be it a vibrant urban college life; Co-ops; Student Research; international opportunities like Study Abroad, International Co-op, Dialogue of Civilizations, and Service Learning; or excellent career support, you cannot beat Northeastern. Even today, NU continues to support me throughout my career, socially, and intellectually through a variety of thoughtful online courses for NU Huskies and in-person alumni events in New York. If you are looking for something beyond a traditional higher educational experience, attend Northeastern, the number one experiential university in the world. Before I dive more into how powerful and meaningful a Northeastern experiential education can be, let me say that Northeastern University is an amazing place and I truly loved my time there! NU offers something vastly different than a traditional college education. A Northeastern education is experiential, innovative, and dynamic. Northeastern offers its students unrivaled access to the world. Needless to say, when I attended NU, I acquired four different international experiences for a total of two years working and studying overseas before graduating college. I completed two six month Co-ops, one for a major financial firm in London and another for a multinational tech company in Paris. Also, during a yearlong study abroad at an English university, I was awarded Full Colours, for competing in rugby at the collegiate level. This was a huge honor! Further, I had an amazing opportunity to attend a tech conference in London where I was heavily involved with innovation working groups. Also, with both London and Paris as my home bases and launching pads to the rest of Europe, I got to go backpacking in England, Ireland, Wales, Italy, Germany, and Russia. Back in the U.S., I completed a six month Co-op for another multinational tech company in Oregon. Even though I was on Co-op, the firm sent me to tech meetings in five major cities, including Honolulu and New York City, where I was the main contact for tech vendors.Michael Bruce

Went to the Graduate Open House there today, I have to say that I were impressed. Everything was well organized: the university tour, the application workshop, multiple aid desks to provide information on every aspect in a student life like financial aid, scholarships, a specific info about the differents college… One thing that I enjoyed most was the exposition on Cuba in Northeastern University Gallery. The students did a great job 👏🏾Jusny Mackenson Louis-Jean

Worst school I’ve ever attended! IT service has no phone number to reach out. School health insurance never reply your call. International student advisors hard to reach out. Student health center reply your email 3 month later. NEU just admitted as much students as they can each year to make money, and lack to staff to support any students.Belle

I've come across some great professors while being here however, administration has got to be one of the worst I've ever seen (aside from my student advisor Jeff Hogan is great). If you do chose this as your college and decide to study human service or psych stay far away from Steven foster not only is his class unorganized he never graded my final paper and left me to only get credit which dropped my GPA. If you want to enjoy anytime while a student at Cambridge college take all of Robert fladgers classes he's amazing. He makes you look forward to coming to class even when you don't feel like it. I learned a lot from Carole and Jennifer Peppi Carole has accomplished so many great things in the human service field it truley is amazing. Also I enjoyed taking one of my mandatory psych classes with professor Christifaro she was great super fun and made class interesting. I also think they offer a great array of ways to get and finish your education… Online night and weekend classes, most professors are very understanding when you have hit a difficult time in your personal life. When doing your capstone take Dawn zapata she is the sweetest and really puts effort into her students (even though she is not on campus she still makes you feel like you're her priority).Nadiya Alexis

Great teachers with a ton of current long term experience in relevant fields. They lend their knowledge to the courses and show relevance. This is a special place where you have to work hard to get a good grade. No slouching here. I'm lucky to have found it. These professors are out there now in the real world, not sitting in an office somewhere, retired and lecturing straight from a book… Great crew !!!! They are homophobic and Dr. Seth actually reprimanded me for coming out as "gay" during a gay marriage discussion in a Life development class. The work is so easy you can be dead and still get an "A". They look for more excuses to take money from you than the IRS. One Professor Judy Bralove MSW purposely told me she wasn't giving me a recommendation so I could go to another graduate school because she wanted to ruin my plans. I told her she was sick. Avoid this school at all costs it is expensive and not worth it. Go to Lesley University they at least have requirements. AndA better program.Liz Della Piana

As a homeless full-time Student, I have to say from the bottom of my heart I do not like this school. There is no support for the homeless student except for "student success" – who in fact told me I smelled. The administration lacks ethics and they will laugh in your face, lie to you, and / or give you false or misleading information. I wish I would have just went to a state school. I found Cambridge College through a program called Year Up Boston. I had earned credits at cambridge college through that program and figured I continue my education at said school. I made the wrong decision. Please, to the community of students who are either going through the same or will be because the numbers are increasing, please look at another option. Trust me when I say, this school cannot handle students like us. You are cheating both yourself and your education.Malik Baltimore

Located in Storrs, Connecticut, this building is their main campus for the UConn School of Business. Nice building and layout! There are 3 other campuses located in Waterbury, Stamford and Hartford. Founded in 1941, academic programs at the bachelors, MBA, Executive MBA, doctorate and advanced certificate levels are offered at the UConn School of Business.Ming

It's a full undergraduate business school. There really aren't very many of those in this part of the country. Profs are generally decent to good. I do call the building "The Funhouse From Hell" because of what it looks like on the inside.StairwayToEvan92

Thank you absolutely everything you(Larry Rettige)& your team (MBA)did in helping me out to pursue my dream home. Your financial skills, time management of financial software, (A1) customer service, confidential decision making, problem solving,efficiency, professionalism & great useful pieces of encourage advices throughout the whole process were beyond. Due to this, I feel very proud to add one brand new home to my portfolio. Larry, Amanda & Tristin, you are GREAT God richly bless you. 🙏🙏🙏Amazing Grace

Larry…WHAT A GUY! He was sure to always go above and beyond during our first home buying process. Working all hours of the day, if there was ever a question, Larry or someone from his team were always quick to give us the information we needed. Larry and team made sure the process was as smooth as could be and I will forever recommend them as an A1 team. If ever I have the opportunity of purchasing another home, Larry will be my go to broker.George Estrada

Larry, Amanda and Tristan at MBA Mortgage were great! They always replied quickly and answered all of our questions professionally and with detail no matter the day of the week. You could not ask for a better mortgage team! It was a pleasure to work with them and I will refer anyone interested in a loan. Thank you for making our home buying a great easy experience.Shannon Soldi

The School of Continuing Education at Providence College is a great place to get another degree or get the degree you have been striving to get but the timing was never. The staff and faculty at SCE are always willing to lend a helping hand and guide you through the process of getting a degree! I have been a student worker since my Freshmen as an undergraduate student at PC (now I am a junior, shows you how much I love this office) and have taken courses through the School of Continuing Education and know how it is to be a staff member and a student and the amount of support in this office is tremendous!Janet Odufunade

Providence College School of Continuing Education is top notch. I've become acquainted with its administration, faculty members, and students over the past few years. Students rave about the programs and see great value in returning to school to better themselves at PC SCE. Its programs are best in class and the investment to go back is certainly affordable. Teachers are engaging and accessible and the administration is second to none. Anyone looking to better themselves and their careers should seriously consider PC SCE as their means to accomplish their career & life goals.Blair Fish

Earning my teaching certification (MA and RI) through PC's School of Continuing Education was an incredible experience. Having attempted to pursue this certification elsewhere, I was really appreciative of PC's approach to working professionals. I didn't feel like I had to adhere my schedule to that of an undergraduate – they knew I had a full time job and helped me to pursue my career in education while remaining employed. I felt respected, valued and supported every step of the way.Lauren Blackburn

Trusting Your Mortgage Lending Team 2020: Staying true to my post in 2019, MBA Mortgage Team Hunton is all-star! Rates plummeted in the Spring of 2020 and I got a personal email from Brian Hunton to refinance because rates were too good to be true! I went from 4.75 to 2.75 percent! Unreal! His team member even left a meeting early just to lock me in!!! They care about their customers even after the closing is long gone. I am constantly recommending this team and will always do my business with them. 2019: What a process! There were a few times during this home buying purchase I WOULD have been hyperventilating into a paper bag… if not for the MBA Mortgage team. Every-single-question (and many!) were addressed, answered, and the team even followed up! I found Brian and his team to be very transparent about the process and helped explain projected estimates, details in emails.. and now a month after – THEY ARE STILL CHECKING IN. This is my first time purchasing through MBA Mortgage and I found the experience personal and safe and will highly recommend them!Rani Sullivan

David Sullivan and his team were best. I've been preapproved by a lender. After depositing earnest money, available amount of mortgage was decreased. It was a big trouble. I contacted other lenders, but their answer was same. The gap was so big that I had to give up to get new home. When I almost gave up, my realtor suggested talking with David Sullivan in MBA mortgage. Actually I didn't expect other answer from David because many lender's answers were same. But David's answer was different. He tried to find other ways and gathered all my data and information step by step. Finally I got approval of loan with best interest rate. I believe I was not able to get the mortgage without David and MBA mortgage. David was incredibly helpful. He also answered quickly and was incredibly patient and kind when fixing an issue with bank statement. Furthermore, their portal system to upload my private data was very safe and convenient. I hope someone who wants to get a good mortgage find David Sullivan in MBA mortgage.Namhoon Kim

As a first time home buyer now owner the process at first seemed like a whirlwind of chaos but through my realtor and MBA mortgage it became easier, the team at MBA mortgage felt like family they were kind courteous and responsive they answered. Any questions I had promptly and explained in multiple ways when I was still confused, I'd never would have gotten through this process without their help and guidance and excellent service. I recommend them to anyone and everyone 100 percent they made this home buying process go smoothly and the stress go from the top of the charts all the way down to almost nothing. I appreciate everyone at MBA so much Thank you!!Kelsey Basak
