Bridgewater State university

Pretty nice campus. The parking though is horrendous. The dining halls aren’t too bad.

Bridgewater State University continues to improve tremendously. Administration has hiccups from time to time, but the atmosphere is good, and the environment is dedicated to academics. Good opportunities for professional development for faculty and staff. Students seem to have gotten more prepared over the past few years. Parking is still tough, but parking garage seems to have helped a little with that.

No complaints. Affordable. Good teachers in my experience and nice campus. Parking is tough.

Please keep in mind that I will be reviewing the campus as well as the class I am taking. I am participating in a two week orff certification course run by two wonderful people that are not Bridgewater State University employees but brought in from the outside. They are absolutely phenomenal and I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in pursuing elementary education in music or is interested in teaching elementary level children music at an effective rate! I cannot say enough positive things about this class and I encourage everyone and all music teachers to take this course no matter what grade level you teach or where you teach. I am a middle and high school music teacher but could possibly be converted to elementary music after this class!
In regards to the campus itself the grounds are beautiful and I get to eat lunch out by the fountains every day. I would recommend however that you bring your own lunch would be prepared to eat only salad fried food or grilled food if you are coming here during the summer. The Bears den which is where the cafeteria is in the student center only offers grilled items fried items and an open salad bar during the summer terms. They also only accept cash or a Bridgewater State University paying card they do not accept debit or credit card so be careful.
Parking is a bit of a joke here some of us had to pay $ 50 for a commuter parking pass for our two-​week course while other students were given a free visitors pass to park right across from the building. I don’t mind the walk but I do mind paying the $ 50.
I really enjoy how the teachers have been working with us they do not speak down to us at all and they work with us at a level that is comfortable for everyone.

BSU SUCKS!!! It’s a ripoff, parking/​traffic sucks and over crowded. Look somewhere else, you’ll be glad you did

I had to change my original review of BSC. I am a student here and I can tell you this school is fantastic. The only thing I did not like was when I was transferring into the school, we had to do the mandatory transfer day before the semester started like every other school. However the transfer day was the most disorganized, stressful event I have ever been apart of! It was hours and hours of non sense and straight boring information. If you are transferring you probably know how to register for classes, and nothing was useful about that the transfer day. I love BSC because of everything they offer. There are many classes to chose from if you meet the deadlines. Also most of the professors are great, and everyone at this school wants to see you succeed. Let me tell you that if one student is acting up or is disturbing students or any form of disorderly conduct the campus police who are not just little security guards, I mean they carry guns and have there station right on campus they respond very quickly. There is always something fun to do on campus and tons of volunteer and internship opportunities. The library is huge and lots of resources. If you are a computer get there early and there is plenty of parking. The building are in walking distance of each other but in case you get lazy they have a campus bus route that will bring you to all the buildings on campus. This school is amazing and easy to get to. Try BSC out you won’t regret it!

I recently transferred here from Purdue University. Yes, why would I transfer from such a prestigious school? Money being one issue, personal issues another. but that’s besides the point. I HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH BRIDGEWATER I’VE STOPPED COUNTING. Ugh.
Let’s just say the offices are a mess, keep track of everything you hand them, make copies if you have to, they’re bound to lose it. I was told they lost my high school transcripts and told me I flat out never graduated. How can you say that when I attended Purdue? I think they would of not let me attend that school if I hadn’t graduated.
Maybe things will get better, who knows. freshmen orientation is a joke. You’re required to go (even if your a transfer student that’s still being considered a freshmen only because the morons wont accept your transfer credits from a UNIVERSITY). Financial aid is a joke.
I can really go on and on. The campus is beautiful though and they are doing many renovations to dorms and buildings. Class sizes are mostly small which can be nice, but some of them make me still feel like high school all over again. Challenge me people!
Hopefully things will get better, I’ll review once I graduate.

Update: I’m willing to give BSC another star in that they handled the completion of my program, the transfer of paperwork, and the transcripts very well. Overall, however, they still have a long way to go. 2.75 stars.
