    Am learning a lot

    Professors at Bryant are extremely accommodating and present a great deal of real world experience to pass onto their students. The small class size is also helpful in allowing for students to get the attention they require. The blended curriculum of business and liberal arts that is designed for all students furthermore allows for the development of marketable skills and knowledge in a variety of valuable subject matters. Bryant’s facilities such as the library, financial markets center, and TV studio, are also particularly helpful for learning and preparing for various aspects of potential careers.

    The atmosphere on Bryant’s campus is great. Both faculty and students are welcoming, there are many activities to take part in, and the campus is beautiful. Living in the residence halls provides students with a great experience in which many close friendships are formed. It is also exciting to meet students from different parts of the country and world and being able to learn about their diverse experiences and perspectives. There are also many clubs and organizations on campus of which students are guaranteed to find a few that will appeal to their interests. Such clubs also provide a great atmosphere for making friends that share similar backgrounds and interests. Bryant’s Campus Ministry is also wonderful in keeping students close to their faith while also providing opportunities to explore different faiths. There is always something taking place on campus. Whether there is a well-known figure coming to speak, a musical performance or comedian, or craft activity for students to take part in, students can always find ways to get out and have a good time.
    Bang for the buck

    Bryant has a lot to offer students. The school provides you with your own laptop which gives students access to great deal of valuable technology. Classrooms are also well-equipped with technology that makes learning more interesting and relevant. There is something for everyone on campus regarding student clubs and activities and there are many opportunities to become involved in things that interest you. The athletic center, which provides free gym membership, is also a great part of campus that provides access to work-out equipment and a variety of exercise classes that are taught by students. Bryant most importantly provides students with the opportunity to become well-rounded people with its strong focus on developing “The Character of Success”. The knowledge needed to become more aware of current issues, the business world, and life after college is received at Bryant, which can ultimately help students to be successful in their future endeavors.
    Tips for prospective students

    Keep up with current events and assignments, bring an umbrella and boots (for rain and snow), join at least one club freshman year, and make the most of your experience.
    Great for these types of students

    Students interested in gaining a global perspective, those that desire approachable and concerned faculty, students looking for small class sizes, those who like to be involved in campus activities and students who want to be a part of a close-knit community in a beautiful suburban setting.

    Our classes are very globally oriented and focus on different aspects of the subject areas. The professors are all about their students and teaching them what they know. Our professors are very qualified in their fields and are very knowledgeable.
    Am enjoying being here

    Student life is great! We have over 80 clubs, organizations, and Greek organizations. Students can even create their own club/organization if they feel that what they want/need is not available (you just need some friends and a write up!). Our Center for Student Involvement is very involved with the students and works very hard to provide the kinds of activities that we enjoy. Students have a voice on this campus - something that cannot (and is not) taken for granted.
    Bang for the buck

    You get a good education, decent housing, free gym access, sports, and plenty of student activities.
    Tips for prospective students

    Bring a warm winter coat and rain boots!!!!

    Am learning a lot

    Like many other students, I came to Bryant for a career in business and I already feel like I'm immersed in the business culture after only one semester. My first semester I took Business 101, Microeconomics, Math, a Literary and Cultural Studies class, History, and FFL. The mix of the business and liberal arts classes was pleasant and I did very well, earning a 3.8 GPA. The classes are small, no more than about 30 people and all of my professors knew who I was pretty quickly. Participation is important in most classes and it makes the classes much more interesting. The business plan is definitely the most memorable academic event of last semester. This project seems daunting at first, but you learn a lot and it is very satisfying.
    Am enjoying being here

    Bryant is an amazing school and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. There's also an event hosted by an organization on campus, such as the Student Programming Board or Bryant at Night. I really enjoy bingo, the game nights, free pizza, Midnight Breakfast and Festival of Lights. I also live in a suite, so I have access to a common room and have made great friends this semester. I belong to several clubs including Students in Free Enterprise, Bryant Helps, and Colleges against Cancer.
    Bang for the buck

    Bryant may be fairly expensive, but I received a $15,000 academic scholarship, which has assisted in defraying the costs of attending. Bryant is definitely worth the cost because of the great classes and the name in business. I have already begun networking with alumni and meeting potential employers.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would recommend applying even if you think it's too expensive; almost everyone I know has an academic scholarship. I'm on academic scholarship even though I had less than perfect grades in high school. I would also recommend coming to visit the school. The campus is beautiful and the buildings are all updated and new.
    Great for these types of students

    Bryant is great for many types of students. I would recommend those interested in sports, community service, greek life, business, or anything really. Bryant is best for people who have many interests.

    Bryant is a great school with a small, community feel. Classes are small which is good because some teachers can be difficult. Hard work but great reputation for placement after graduating.

    bryant prepares students very well for the real world work environment. unmatched when it comes to business schools, including the harford and standford schools. not only do they provided a great place to learn, but a great place to have fun also.
    Tips for prospective students

    get use to working in groups, becuase every class group work is involved in. make sure you are prepared for out of class work, tons of it.
    Academic Rigor

    just like every college the work load is a lot, but at bryant they treat you like a business man/woman, you get alot of work at certain times then light load other times.
    Dorm Life

    always a fun time, everyone gets along and never really any problems. if there is any problems they are usually fixed quickly and in a proper way.
    Food and Dining

    in the cafe, its college food so not much can be said about it. there is a good selection of food for everyone to choose from. the dinning places on campus are prime, dunkin, subway, ranzio's pizza are all great places.
    What to do for fun

    there are many groups to join, sports teams to play on and club sports also that are really well run and make it feel like your back playing a high school sport. greek life is on point at the school if your into that route. also, the parties are alot of fun, just great times with people, memories to be made.
    Bang for the buck

    I've learned so much in just one year. I actually looked forward to going to class. All of the teachers are so helpful and make class interesting. Class sizes are small and you really get that one-on-one attention that will help you succeed.
    Am enjoying being here

    I absolutely loved my first year at Bryant University. I met so many new people and friends that I know I will have for a life time.
    Bang for the buck

    Although Bryant is a more expensive school, you definitely will get what you pay for. Classes are small, one of my classes only had 5 people in it. The teachers are also so helpful. They have so many office hours and even if that time doesn't work for you, they will accomodate your schedule and work with you.
    Tips for prospective students

    Once on campus, definitely sign up and get involved in different organizations. It's a great way to meet new people and make the most of your time in school.
