My Bentley Story
My Goals, My Work, My Words
Welcome!
We asked 12 of our students, faculty, staff and alumni to share a bit about themselves and thankfully they agreed to be interviewed… on tape! You may have already read their stories in our viewbook, but here they share more about life on campus, classes, living with roommates, what professors are really like, activities on campus, their favorite places in Boston, what it’s like moving from thousands of miles away and much more. Take a minute to hear what they have to say.
If you haven’t seen our viewbook, request a copy.
