Bentley University has been rising up the ranks of the nation's business colleges. Its curriculum places special emphasis on technology as well. The school has its own trading room, complete with dual-screen monitors and Bloomberg terminals, to train the over 4,200 undergrads and about 1,200 graduate students in trading, portfolio construction, corporate finance, and risk management. The school's career services office excels at placing students in practical internships and publishes the major-specific career outcomes of its graduates for current students to consider while in school. The business coursework and hands-on experience often result in higher-paying jobs for graduates. In their off-hours, Bentley students can indulge in the nightlife and culture of nearby Boston, only a 30-minute drive away. One of the most popular events on campus each term is "Super Bingo," (once named "Greedy Bingo") in which students can win prizes, like tickets to an Ariana Grande concert, AirPods, or a new iPhone. Students also have the opportunity to see big-name artists perform during the annual Spring Day event, which has featured Khalid, Tyga, and T-Pain in the past.
