Located less than 12 miles from Boston, Bentley students also have the opportunity to intern at a wide variety of companies.
Eat:
Moody’s Deli ( 468 Moody St, Waltham, MA 02453): If you’re in the mood for a bagel or pastrami sandwich, you will not be disappointed by Moody’s. Check out Moody’s Backroom for a slightly higher-end meal, where they offer a full-service dining room with a different menu for lunch and dinner.
Tempo (474 Moody St, Waltham, MA 02453): You don’t have to go all the way to Boston’s North End for great Italian food. Right in downtown Waltham, Tempo has been said to have “Greater Boston’s Best Bolognese” by Phantom Gourmet.
Cafe on the Common (677 Main St, Waltham, MA 02451): Looking for a quick cup of coffee between campus visits? Check out Cafe on the Common - not only do they have great coffee, but they also make their own baked goods from scratch.
