Becker College is coming a long wonderfully. President Johnson is turning the school around and is investing a lot of money back into the students and campus. We got new equipment for the Worcester Gym, and we are upgrading the internet. The school plans to expand greatly in the years to come. We are always adding majors and the students are great!

Becker College is a top-rate school! It has been 7 years since I studied as an undergrad at Becker. The teachers and my experience there colored my life in a way that I will always remember with fondness and gratitude. The small classes, extraordinary teachers, and supportive staff make the college feel like a second family. Highly recommend!!!

Horrible college

None of the students try, they treat school as a joke. The sport coaches will tell you what ever you want to hear to get you to get you there. If you want a good job or any at all when you get out do NOT go to this college.

Horrible food, horrible area, horrible students, horrible teachers, horrible school. There is absolutely nothing positive about this school. 80% of students transfer out. WAY too expensive for what you are getting. Youre paying the price for an outstanding university and you would be better off getting an education from a hobo(who walk on campus)

Came to Becker because I had only heard nice things about it. Got here and realized it was all a lie. The food is awful, I can only stomach it about twice a week. IT is a joke and theres virtually no internet. There is no social life here. The professors aren't the best. Most people transfer after their first year. If you have a choice, don't do it

The school is in a bad area, I lived in a apartment and I would hear groups of people fighting and there are very shady people that live in the area. The food is usually bad unless there are new group of people coming to see the campus. If you are serious about your education do NOT come to this school. The gym is HORRENDOUS too.
Overall 1.4
The president of this school is atrocious and won't assume responsibility for anything. Some professors are decent but the vast majority are sub-par or downright awful. There are a few professors out there among the mess that are true gems. Becker hires too many adjuncts and can't even manage to remain open after the pandemic. Pathetic school

I came all the way from CA to go to here & I have never been more disappointed by anything in my life. The staff are rude & unfriendly. Theres not 1 competent math professor in the entire college (as of Spring 2016). Worcester campus is awful & unsafe. There are no opportunities for research. I hated everything about this place. I transferred out.

BC is not what I was expecting. Most people hate the school. Many of the students are not very smart. Quite a few bad profs/joke classes. I had a lot of other options for college& I chose BC because I thought the vet sci program would be worth it. It's not worth it. I'll gain vet med experience myself. I'm finishing my first year& transferring.

Becker College has two campuses one located in Worcester (a city area) and one located in Leicester (a rural area) Very expensive to go here and the dorms are out dated. The food isn't that good in the cafeterias. Not to mention freshmen are top priority and upper clansmen are often forgotten about.
