Well I’m a little late, but…

I have a lot of friends in the business program and they’ve all been happy with the quality of classes and professors. Some classes are a lot of work and a lot of the classes have group projects. I took some a couple business classes this semester and really enjoyed Marketing Principles (the intro marketing course) - had a great professor, we had a group project where we invented our own product and created a marketing plan for it and such and that was really fun. I’m definitely going to continue to take business classes - debating whether or not to transfer to the business school as a major, minor in business, or combine business with some of my other interests in a MultiDisciplinary Studies major.

Study abroad is definitely pretty big here. Lots and lots of people do it and there are loads of options, whether you want to study abroad or do an internship abroad and there’s internship programs in NYC and D.C., too. A bunch of the sophomore learning communities have travel components - this semester there’s a business one that goes to Malta and Tunisia, there’s an english/sociology one going to Romania (I think? That one sounded pretty cool), and a literature/politics one going to Ireland. Last year there was a religion/history one that went to Italy…fall semester there’s an environmental studies one that goes to the Everglades to do fieldwork stuff during winter break.

Stonehill students are definitely known for being happy. Though to be honest I hated it here last year (I’m a sophomore)…I like it a lot better this year. There are many students that love, love, love Stonehill but there are also students that really aren’t happy here…but you’ll find that at any school.
