“When I first visited Bryant, President Machtley told us about all the great things I could do and learn here. After my three years on campus, I can say it’s all come true.

Everyone cares about each other at Bryant, whether it’s helping with studying, supporting friends’ interests, or just holding the door for one another. I’ve made many good friends in clubs like Bryant’s intramural soccer team.

When I talk to my parents about Bryant, I tell them it’s an incredible place filled with learning and fun things to do. I tell them that going to school here was the right decision and I tell them how happy I am.”

“My professors at Bryant were phenomenal. They gave us the knowledge that we need, but they also let us make our own decisions.

Because of the Archway Investment course, where students make real investment decisions using real money, I was able to show employers what I actually did and the investment strategies that I had come up with.

Bryant helped me find internships with companies like Hasbro and PwC where I was able to use the skills I learned in class. PwC was so impressed with my work that they offered me a job.”

“If you want to achieve big things, you have to be challenged. I knew I wouldn’t just be ticking boxes atBryant. I was getting the whole experience.

I love to travel and I love exploring new ideas, so the International Business Program was a perfect fit. International Business can be a very challenging course of study, but my classmates and I always knew that we would have great support throughout our four years at Bryant.

The real-world experience I gained from my coursework, including practicum courses where I developed real solutions for international companies, gave me an edge in launching my career. Being able to apply what we’ve learned in the classroom and see what we’re capable of means a lot to students.”
