Bennett College — Local services in Greensboro

My experience attending Bennett College in 99-2003 was an experience. Reading most of these comments I guess some things does not change. Majority of all the woman working in the financial aid and admissions office were rude. I would always wonder to myself how are these women still employed? The campus (sidewalks) were cracked and I can recall myself spraining my ankle upon moving in because the concrete was severely cracked. Yes, the cafeteria food was nasty and didn't have much of a selection of items to choose from. The tuition was ridiculous high and honestly I'm not sure why.....the dorm rooms that I lived in-Phieffer and Cone hall were okay for the most part but the bathrooms were horrible. But, compared to the other dorms I guess I should have been thrilled to have been in those two dorms. The positive things attending Bennett was that I met some nice classmates. I was able to hear Corretta Scott King and Maya Angelou speak during an ACES ceremony. I will always appreciate that forever! My first year going off to college as I think on it now I wish I would have went to a HSBC where I could have truly experienced college life. On a closing thought if Bennett is still performing in the same manner from when I attended 18 years ago then that is very sad! Overtime, people should grow/advance, do, and become better. That is what Bennett expectations are for their students. However, if Bennett own staff aren't exemplifying and walking into these various things. They should not be employed at this school because they will contribute to it's value going down and if you have no students or not enough then there will be no "Bennett". Although, this was my personal experience it may have been different for others. If anyone choose Bennett College then they will have to experience college life here for...

10 years ago I walked into a store wearing my Bennett College sweater. The store manager attended a nearby school in Greensboro and immediately recognized the name. We started chatting, a wedding and two children later here we are!

Since graduating in 1998 I have taken that sweater with me around the world, attending other schools, before big interviews, and everywhere in between. Something about looking in the mirror and seeing the word "Bennett" across my heart motivates me in ways you have to feel to understand.

As a graduate I've never felt inadequate or undertrained compared to my colleagues. One of the things Bennett does best is teach us how to engage in healthy competition, promote self-growth, and share our success.

My sweater was rather worn after 20 years yet, we both knew I couldn't part with it. My husband searched the internet far and wide to find the same color and design, and gifted it to me for our anniversary. I've graduated from several schools since 2002, this is the only college sweater I choose to...

With an ALL GIRL SCHOOL comes the drama and how you handle it. Bennett is actually shaping me into a woman. Seeing the comments about the College is actually crazy. If you ever heard your mother tell you "Its how you make your college experience" then you can tell by some of the reviews the person did not make a good college experience. That person was probably stuck in their ways and did not want to socialize. But that's their choice, and they moved on. I personally say that Bennett Suits me because MAJORITY of colleges don't give you that one on one with your professor and im thankful of that. Yes the staff here at Bennett Has its moment, you just got to be patient, and be mindful. I'M PROUD TO BE A BELLE, but don't trust a lot of these reviews, scout the college for yourself get a feel of the college...
