1. The “Trading Room” Guy
If you ever find yourself on the second floor of Smith, you’re likely going to run into this first type of Bentley student. He’s always clean cut and is hardly seen around campus not in his suit and tie. You can usually find him instructing a class in the trading room, helping out finance strugglers like myself, or keeping up on the daily Bloomberg updates that are sent to his iPhone. They probably already have a post-graduation job lined up in New York, they’re willing to fill you in on the latest economic trends, and they’re definitely some of the most career driven people on campus. However, if you don’t know what the S&P 500 is, maybe you should just keep looking. Or retake GB 112.

2. The Gym Junkies
Comes complete with giant tubs of protein powder in their closet, shaker water bottles to mix their pre-workouts, and most importantly, muscle tees on muscles tees. You can find them at the Dana Center on the regular, lifting what looks to be ten times your weight from the bench, and hopefully not checking out their biceps in the mirror… or worse – taking selfies. These guys are the usually the good looking type, and if you like someone who will support your healthy habits and go to the gym with you, look no further. Or if you choose, you can just window shop from the lobby while you drool over your Currito.

3. The Super Prep
Coming from a person who had barely heard of Vineyard Vines before she came to Bentley, I quickly learned about the noteworthy population of guys at Bentley who are always styled down to the last seam, and who wouldn’t be caught dead at any hour of the day in sweatpants. Super Preps go beyond your usual oxford shirt and boat shoes. They instead will be found on the Green Space with their whale-pattern, pastel colored shorts and brightly colored button down shirts. If you want somebody who cares about their appearance, takes care of themselves, and will actually tell you the truth if they like your outfit when you ask, look no further. Straight out of a Sperry’s catalogue, you can’t miss them on campus.

4. The “How are you surviving Bentley” Boy
If there’s one thing that you can count on, it’s that you can probably find these guys sleeping in your night classes. They’re the ones who get the blank look on their face when you ask them how they’re planning on studying for their midterm tomorrow, or who seem shocked when you mention that Blackboard quiz that’s due at midnight. When the weekend comes however they’ll be the first ones out and about starting around 5:00 and making their rounds long after Mein Bowl is closed for the night. Sometimes we question how they’re returning to school next semester with a grade point average that is similar to their BAC on the weekends, but they’re the some of the nicest and most fun guys to be around on campus so we don’t complain.

5. The Student Athlete
A sure sign that he’s an athlete? He’s probably walking around campus with his teammates on the weekends with a Bentley football (or whatever sport) monogrammed backpack filled with the cheap beverage of his choice. If it’s anywhere above 50 degrees outside, they might have their shirts off (no complaints here) and are willing to tell you how screwed they are for 7:00 a.m. lifting the next morning. You can always count on them for a good time when you go out, but maybe not for a recollection of their Friday nights.
