Fun school with a great location outside of Boston. Solid reputation and a lot of recruiting events for banking, accounting, and consulting.

Do not get all of the top tier firms to come to campus (Goldman, McKinsey, etc.) and can be difficult to get a job to the top firms.

Definitely network hard as it can be hard to get jobs at top firms otherwise.

Great curriculum with invested professors and excited alumni who want to hire you

Some students need to wait until their 3rd year of school to take an actual finance course; liberal arts emphasis is great, but this is unreasonable.

The Portico program (first semester intro to business / hybrid ethics course) is a great opportunity to meet upperclassmen who are well-versed in how to succeed within a top undergraduate business school!

Campus is beautiful, professors are challenging and inspiring, students are very attractive and generally nice
