<p>My son attends Barrett and he loves it there. With his stats he could have went just about anywhere for college, but since he is planning on attending graduate/professional school after his undergrad the scholarship for Barrett was too good to turn down. He can now use the money he has saved for his further education. As for social life, my DS has met lots of new friends. For freshman year many events are planned on the residence hall floors for residents to really get to know each other. The students also planned their own activities such as movie nights in each other’s rooms etc… The dining hall at BHC is wonderful and has the best food on campus. I have been there for lunch a few times and wish I could eat there all of the time! As for academics my DS has turned many classes into honors classes by making a contract with the professor. He has built a close bond this way with a few profs already which came in handy when he needed a couple of letters of rec for a summer internship. He has also taken honors classes and has enjoyed both the regular and the honors classes. The Barrett experience is what you make it. As for being a business major, many top companies recruit on campus and from some of the parent bulletins I have seen, some have specific meeting times with just Barrett students. Yes the major campus of ASU has the admissions standards of any large state U that needs to be accessible to the general population. Barrett is different and has a comprehensive application process to be considered for acceptance. As a previous poster mentioned - just look at the stats of the students who are attending Barrett as posted on the website. I can tell you that our son is very happy with his decision to attend Barrett. Our other DS is still in high school and he wants to attend Barrett as well…</p>
