“I love Bryant’s small‑town‑on‑a‑hill campus, how easy it is to get involved in organizations and Division I sports while still being close to Providence, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the early‑morning‑class grind, the heavy business‑school pressure to ‘network,’ and the way the rural‑feeling campus can get quiet off‑weekend were all more noticeable once I stopped seeing it on tour and started living there.”
