| I’d never really heard much about this school but my dad has started getting mail. Anyone know anything about it? Good school? Location? Thanks. |
| I wouldn’t go to school in Bridgeport. I’m from CT |
| Manute Bol went there, I believe. |
| I am from Fairfield County, CT (where Bridgeport is) No, no, no to Bridgeport. Please look google Bridgeport, CT. |
| Bridgeport is not great. What is appealing about it to your dd? Maybe we can suggest some similar schools. |
| I grew up in Greenwich Ct and never even heard of it, sorry. Is it new? |
| University of Bridgeport isn't new. I grew up in the town next door, but don't know anyone who went there. |
| My father and uncle went there. I don't know anything about it now. To the PP who mentioned Manut Bol. You are correct. I saw him play for UB as a kid. I think I came up to his knee. |
| If you haven’t heard of it or know anything about it, why might you want to waste four years and your money on it? Sounds crazy. Sounds like a hard pass. |
| I just googled it. It has a 29% graduation rate. I honestly haven’t seen one that low before. |
| Not a good school. just not. It's bad in general based on the graduation rate and caliber of students there, but it also has a chiropractic college (pseudoscience yikes) and at one point the unification church (moonie cult) tried to buy the university-- bad school and sketchy vibes |
Plus 1 |
| OP here: thanks. I hadn’t heard of it but it was on the water and looked picturesque to my dd. |
Plus 2. Isn't it connected to the Moonie Church? |
| Look at Fairfield or Connecticut College instead |
