Everyone on this app is complaining about silly stuff. It’s pretty much like most colleges (I’ve been to others). It’s not a party school. Teachers are fair if you are competent. Campus is nice.

Loved Bridgewater State so much that I am continuing my education for my MBA here. From the faculty members to the opportunities that this university offers, you will never miss out. This university gave me the opportunity to study abroad on 3 different occasions, as well as 3 different on-campus internships.

The parking here is unacceptable student's pay over $200 just for a parking permit and still get unnecessary fines from the campus police officers even when student's are not at fault. I would not go here unless you want to go bankrupt and pay for parking tickets every day. It's no wonder students are transferring out of this school.

This school sucks, but honestly the whole school system sucks.

Wasn't given an advisor until halfway through my first semester. When I got one she didn't return my emails. Professors are careless and all have other careers and don't care much about their students. Go to a real school, not this dump.
Overall 1.2
I tried multiple times to get extra help and the faculty members completely controlled the tutoring appointments. They canceled them without my consent or the tutor's consent. I hate to complain but being silenced by faculty is unacceptable when students are struggling. I felt like I had to fight for my own appointments that I paid for. Not cool!

SJW nightmare zone. Spent way too much money and got very little in return. Unable to graduate on time because this college requires you to intern for 150 hours but refuses to place you, so if you cannot find someone willing to let you work for them for free for 150 hours - you don't grad. Their answer to this? Oh well - give us more money.

This school lacks more than it has to offer and my biggest issue is the lack of resources available to student. No one is willing to help with problems students encounter. You'll be sent to ten different people, who claim they don't handle that or its not their job before you just give up.

The towns a bit adorable but the people can be a bit touchy. They range from extremely lacking in the kind/respect department to just don't talk much. Teachers I've had don't exactly care too much about your personal life and grade strictly. Definitely don't recommend.

Every day I get to enjoy a 30 minute walk (all together) to and from class due to lack of parking! The food is trash so I never had to worry about freshman 15. And if you need anything done, none of the administration knows what they are doing, so you get to learn how to be independent real quick. The professors are actually good though thankfully

DO NOT COME HERE! Imagine getting every horrible person in new england and putting them in one place. These people will come after you if you don't agree with them. This school sits in the shadows of other mass state schools for a reason. People here genuinely make me scared and they say the most profanity ever. Food is mid, facilities good.
