<p>I am a junior in a college prep Catholic high school located in New York. I was wondering what some good business and accounting schools are in the area.

<p>This may be a little biased because I’m a current student, but Bentley Univeristy is a really great school. Not only is the accounting program superior, the other core business classes students have to take provides students with the knowledge to be well rounded in the business world. I’m a Marketing major and I have taken several accounting and finance courses and they helped me better understand the numbers side of marketing. Academics are a huge part of choosing a college, but the campus and location are another big decison factor. Waltham, Ma may not be the city, but it’s close to Boston and the campus is Amazing!
I hope I encouraged you to check out this great school!
I know how the college process can be quite challenging and you probably have a ton of questions, I’ve been reading this blog that I wish I had found when I was applying to schools. It’s [Skipping</a> Breakfast](<a href=“http://www.skippingbreakfast.com%5DSkipping”>http://www.skippingbreakfast.com) and it is full of advice written by real college students</p>
