Just call this joint Brokely University. They charge you 50 cents per breath just to breathe the air here. Guess how much a 99 cent Arizonia Ice Tea is at their janky grocery store. I'll wait. Wrong, five dollars. You'd think they they would be able to sell them for an affordable price after they forced students to pay $400 per week if students wanted to stay in their dorms after move out date which was May 13th. Keep in mind graduation is May 21st. The lack of consideration for students that are considered out of state/ international is RIDICULOUS. I hope they feel guilty

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.

Not an accepting school and the students are self centered and wholistic bad people. I spent one month and I had to withdraw because I was becoming depressed at how much I hated everything that I was doing. I would give lower than one star if possible and recommend that at all costs avoid this school and go anywhere else.

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.

Beautiful campus centrally located in Waltham. Proximity to great big city (Boston) life (& smaller city of Waltham as well) while still the feel of a suburban campus. I cannot speak to academics (though have heard lots of positive things) but it is a lovely campus to run through.
