<p>First, no school guarantees you a job. Let me make that clear to Soxfan.In addition,even if a schools has great placement, it usually varies by major.</p>
<p>I am familar with both Bentley and Babson ( somewhat). Thus, I will comment the most on these two institutions.</p>
<p>As for reputation, between the three B schools ( Babson, Bryant and Bentley), it really does depend on the major and area. Generally Both Babson and Bentley are considered a notch or two above Bryant now.</p>
<p>Babson is the hardest to get into and is very good. However, Babson's major strength is entrepreneurship. They are considered top in that field. Even though they do have other majors, most of their majors are also designed with entrepreneurship in mind .</p>
<p>Bentley is the only one that is a university. It has a number of graduate offerings that both Bryant and Babson don't have. This also provides students with five year combination BS/ MS or BS/MBA or allows students to be able to take some graduate courses as an undergrad if available.</p>
<p>Secondly, Bentley started off as a school to train in finance and accounting. These two areas are their strongest areas and are excellent. Check out Bentley's trading room. It is second to none. Also check out their ACELAB,which has a plethora of accounting software.</p>
<p>Bentley is also bigger than Babson and maybe even bigger than Bryant. The consequence of this is that Bentley does have more choices in majors for undergraduate and certainly for graduate school. For example, Bentley is one of only four schools in the country to have a masters program in financial planning. They even have a major in philosophy with an emphasis in business ethics.</p>
<p>As to facilities, check out the libraries and exercise facilities at each school. I personally liked that of Bentley the most. It was very modern and well equiped.</p>
<p>As to location, Bentley is right near Brandeis,which is in Waltham. Walthem is a nice, quaint town in the suburbs of Boston. Bentley has a VERY strong emphasis on liberal arts. In fact, you can take much of your liberal arts courses, if you want, at nearby, Brandeis. I don't know what affiliation either Babson or Bryant has,but clerly Bryant isn't in as cool an area as either Bentley or Babson.</p>
<p>I don't know much about Bryant other than I have a friend who majored in accounting there and did quite well in his life.</p>
<p>If I were you, I would check out each school. They each have their own culture. For example, Babson is the most cut throat of the three. Just check what other kids say about it. Bentley tends to be more laid back and kids tend to be more cooporative with each other. Again, check out each school.</p>
<p>I don't know much about any of the other schools but I have heard good things about Fordham, and I know that they are in a great area of New York. However, living there is VERY expensive.</p>
<p>Binghamton, Connecticut and Lehigh don't really stand out for me in business education. I have never met anyone who majored in business at these schools.</p>
