<p>My son was accepted to Bentley, UNH and UMass Amherst and while, of course, cost is always a consideration, we were beyond impressed by the facilities and faculty at the Accepted Students and Welcome Days. Value-wise it can’t be beat, their Business Dept is fully accredited and with their new Business Facility opening in two years it’s only getting better. Also, you should check out the dorming options - my son will be living in their Business Living Learning Community that has a brand new dining hall onsite and they have beautiful new upperclassmen suites as well. Not the commuter school it was up until recently, even kids from Lowell are choosing to live there.</p>
