9 months agoThis school sells parking passes to students, yet has a shortage of parking! As well, they have a shortage in the flight training, not enough instructors . Why sell something you can’t accommodate?? Very disappointing. When a flight training student is 80th on the list to get in a plane at the end of a semester, that’s pretty sad.

8 years agoI just loved it there. It challenged me and gave me the skills and confidence to have a rewarding teaching career. The facility is great, the faculty was wonderful and the student body is down to earth; good people and it became the foundation of the most important things in my life. It is always in my heart. In comparison to other colleges, I feel I got a better than Harvard Education for a very realistic tuition.

10 years agoHorrible school, they FORCE you to pay a non refundable $200 deposit JUST to get your financial aid!! That is fraudulent! You are seriously just a number there, nothing else. If you call them, be prepared to be put on hold for at least 5-10 minutes. They also will jerk you around just to get your money, for instance they told me there was an IT program, when there wasn't! It was a computer science program, their response was "it's close enough" no... it isn't close enough. Not to mention they charge you $200 to park and if you want to use their gym they charge you for that too! They are money grubbing leaches. I'm so glad I didn't go there, it is truly a horrible school, some of the staff is nice, like the librarians, but most of the staff are rude, like during seminar I raised my hand for a question, and the lady REFUSED to help me, she literally just plain out right ignored me, as if I killed her dog or something. I got up and walked out. I've been dealing with many schools trying to transfer from my 2 year college and all of them treated me like a human being, not this school though. I wouldn't recommend anyone go there, this school is WAAY over-rated.

7 years agoThis is an update to a previous rating regarding graduate programs at Bridgewater. After spending more time here and attending more classes, I can only report a positive experience. Significant efforts have been made to offer additional classes since my last review and the criminal justice department has been excellent about expediting my progression as much as possible through the program as a working professional. I can not adequately emphasize the quality of some of my criminal justice professors. They genuinely are knowledgeable in their particular fields and I have greatly appreciated the wide range of information they have been able to offer to me over the course of my time here. They truly care about students and are some of the hardest working professors I have seen. While the facilities themselves are not ivy-league and database subscriptions may not be as numerous as other institutions; this place is an excellent value for the education you receive. You'll definitely work harder here and it will be challenging, but the sentiment that you earned the degree will make it worth the effort because you will have actually learned something along the way.
