For over two decades, Bentley University has offered the senior class an international experience to the Bahamas before Commencement. For many seniors, this unique opportunity represents the culmination of four years of hard work, and signifies a transition from student to alumni.
Through a connection with classmates, contributions to the local Bahamian community, and an exploration of the country's distinctive culture and traditions, Bentley in Bahamas has become a cherished tradition. It is a one-of-a-kind experience that seniors hold onto long after they walk across the stage at Commencement.
Registered participants will have a four night stay at The Atlantis Paradise Island Resort and Casino, opportunities for nightly social events and activities, dining at local establishments and other community engagement opportunities. Once registered, all participants will receive a comprehensive Bahamas Booklet and guide, outlining events and activities such as excursions to Nassau, Casino and Museum visits, fine dining at local establishments, as well as community service projects.
