What are the popular events and traditions at Bentley University?

Bentley's recurring campus events include Spring Day, Back2Bentley and Super Bingo. They provide occasions for students to gather beyond classes, although dates, venues and activities can change from year to year.

Spring Day is a student-life event associated with the spring term. Back2Bentley marks a return to campus and reconnects students with campus activities. Super Bingo is a large-format social game event. Students interested in attending or helping organize any of them should use the current campus events calendar rather than rely on a previous year's schedule.

What are the student housing and dining options at Bentley University?

Bentley University offers undergraduate housing on campus, including residence halls and apartment-style options. It reports coed housing and high-speed internet access in housing units. Availability of a housing type is not a promise that every applicant will receive their preferred building or room.

Students considering campus housing should check the current housing application, selection schedule and rules for their class year. Meal-plan choices and campus dining locations should be reviewed alongside the housing agreement: the plan that fits a residence-hall student may not be the same one an apartment resident or commuter needs. Students planning to commute or live off campus should account for travel time and parking policies; first-year students are generally not permitted to register or park a car on campus, subject to any current exception process.
