I really enjoyed my experience at Curry from the location to safety. The business courses were great especially the accounting program. This is an outstanding college.

People will complain about Curry freshman year but honestly, college is what you make of it and it gets a world of better sophomore, junior and senior year! Its fun too because being just outside of boston you meet people from all over like connecticut, rhode island, maine, new hampshire, vermont etc. It makes for a really good experience!

Public safety at the front gate rarely check to see who is coming onto campus. The gates on the Brush Hill side of the school may be closed for car entrance but it is very easy for someone to walk through.

Curry has been an amazing place for me. I've met life long friends, incredible professors, and made a life time of memories. Through Curry I've been able to continue playing the sport I love, get involved in the community, and see the World. Curry allowed me to discover myself and where I want to go in the Future and I could not be more grateful

A lot of people transfer because it is just so boring! The people who stay only stay because transferring is inconvenient. There are such better and more lively schools out there. I'm not just talking about lack of parties, I'm talking about lack of life on the weekends or even during the day. It's a dead campus and really the academics don't rock.

suitcase school indeed. Worst decision ever to come here, so happy I'm transferring. Honestly just not the place to get a quality education for the price they ask. The students could care less about academics; it's almost kind of sad considering how good some of the professors are. The campus is secluded in the middle of nowhere. #Leaving #Bye

If you ask any student here they will tell you how boring it really is compared to other colleges! I've transferred now, but I will always regret spending my freshman year at Curry. Really disappointing college as far as finding things to do. Look up the retention rates...huge amount of freshman end up transferring.

Many people think it will be a good place to go because it is right outside Boston and it will be fun. Not true, you will hardly ever see Boston because the campus shuttles are very limited and freshman cannot have cars. It is also a suitcase college so even if you're friends with upper class men who have cars..they won't be there hardly ever.

Suitcase college. Hardly anyone stays on weekends. Completely dead and silent campus. Definitely not worth the price of housing when it so boring even considering that it is a smaller school the campus is still abnormally dead! The academics are really not even that good either...this school is not worth the price at all.

Do not go here..if you wait to find out why then it'll be too late. There's a reason that everyone complains once they're here. And it is not a very friendly campus at all.

Campus police mocked me when I had a panic attack in front of them and provided no help. Id basically be running for the bathroom after each meal to the point where I stopped eating at the school and got my own food. Theres nothing to do on weekends. Its next to a very dangerous area (my room even got broken into by people who were not students)

Stayed here until the end of my freshmen year, turned out to be some of the most difficult months of my life. Simple and straightforward advice to anyone in high school considering this place, don't. Pull up your grades and go to a better school. You will not regret it.

DO NOT COME HERE. Conduct Policy is Asinine, food is terrible( ran by sodexo-Recieved and F rating overall). Do not let the campus fool you, they only make it nice for tours and orientations. If you get in trouble 2 times the third time you lose on campus housing. So as you can see this place is old and terrible -BC

If you want anything from the registrar or anyone in a higher position than a professor you will be chasing them down for MONTHS if you even hear from them by then. It is so incredibly frustrating but they don’t care and will continue to ignore you and all of your classmates bc this school only cares about money.
