“My professors here at Bryant have been phenomenal. They give us the knowledge that we need but they also let us make our own decisions.
Because of the Archway Invest-ment course, where students make real investment decisions using real money, I was able to show employers what I actually did and the investment strategies that I had come up with.
Bryant helped me find internships with companies like Hasbro and PwC where I was able to use the skills I learned in class. PwC was so impressed with my work that they offered me a job.”

“When I first visited Bryant, President Machtley told us about all the great things I could do and learn here. After my two years on campus, I can say it’s all come true.
Everyone cares about each other at Bryant, whether it’s helping with studying, supporting friends’ interests, or just holding the door for one another. I’ve made many good friends in clubs like Bryant’s intramural soccer team.
When I talk to my parents about Bryant, I tell them it’s an incred-ible place filled with learning and fun things to do. I tell them that going to school here was the right decision and I tell them how happy I am.”
