CLASSES: BACE offers Adult Education Classes, taking visitors behind the scenes of zoo exhibits. MY FAVE CLASS: GIRAFFE SCHOOL... You get to feed "Beau" the giraffe by hand!

THE DEAL: Go with a friend, so you can take photos of each other, and video your "behind the scenes" experience.

I've been to two classes so far with two different instructors and enjoyed them both. The hot yoga class is set at a perfect temperature - you can feel the heat, but it doesn't distract you from your movements or flow. Everyone here (members included) have been really nice and the studio has a very welcoming atmosphere. I get really nervous going to new gyms or studios, but the second I stepped into this studio, all of that nervousness dissipated. They had a special rate ($55 for 1 month) during the summer, but I'm not sure that's offered year round. I believe they have new member pricing for anyone who is interested in trying out the studio for a couple weeks before committing to a membership. Most people bring their own mats, but they have some mats available at the studio if you don't have one/forget it. Recommend!

How to rate and review a building that functions in so many different ways for so many people? The…read moreScience Center has a variety of roles, both formal and inadvertent. For incoming undergraduates, it represents one of the few places on campus (aside from Memorial Hall) where they will encounter all their peers, both in large lecture halls and the required lab sessions on the third, fourth, fifth and eighth floors. For seasoned undergrads, it's a place to write your overdue essay in the expansive computer rooms in the basement, a cheap café at which to cram for the upcoming exam and a central location at which to advertise your super-awesome weekend party or activist cause. For faculty, it's home to independent hard- and soft-science lab space, the location of the Derek Bok teaching center, and the site of any number of technologically over-equipped classrooms. Grads find refuge in the Science Center's 24hr computing facilities, its hive of humanity amidst the endless and solitary PhD process, and the huge student discount available in the Apple Store on site. Tourists love to hate the 70s chic of the building's exterior (rumored to be modelled on the Polaroid camera) and let their children play in the fountain feature out front. There's a library, a museum and some weird and wonderfully large old scientific objects across the lobby. There is welcome shelter from the snow in the winter. There's a mini-garden in the courtyard, an observatory up at the top, and in the Spring there's a farmers' market out front. The Science Center is not successful at performing all these roles to perfection, but it makes a damn good attempt at covering all its bases. For that, I give this place 4 stars. For everything else, there's Mastercard.

I'd definitely come back and try something else!

We were walking from the north end after getting fresh pastries from an amazing shop ( See my other Boston reviews) when we saw a small historical sign explaining the history of North Bennet Street School. It was bustling as we curiously peered in. As we continue to walk up to the corner where we spot a sign for an open house at the school. We immediately turned around and went back. The lobby and staff were so welcoming! They got us checked in and answered a few of my questions. They gave us a low down and a map. Each area had us exploring and listening to the enthusiasm spilling from the students. It was really interesting and inspiring. Each presentation was so specialized and well organized. We spent a good chunk of time learning about the complexity of pianos, paper making, hand bound books, architecture and more! Another highlight was talking to an older gentleman who was a first year silver smith ( yes it was super cool) who was putting the finishing touches on a ring just as we walked by. He took the time to show us all of the steps from a rod of silver to the dazzling finished ring!!!! My feedback is that they should a season or two of web series showing their talents to the world. It would also be a great STEM connection for education. So many talents and interesting people in the area. Highly recommended. I'd love to attend a class or two here!

Unprofessional is an understatement to describe how the North Bennet Street School handled my kid's…read moreapplication. The admissions committee ghosted my student after they completed all the admissions requirements in time for the priority deadline. My student received an email confirming their materials were submitted in time for the priority deadline. Following an interview, there was no notification of acceptance, rejection or placement on a wait list. Zero. Weeks went by, and then months. My student sent emails to follow up, including to the admissions director. Crickets. We parents also contacted the admissions office and director to ask about our student's application. No response to very polite emails and calls. At one point, we got a human on the phone at the admissions office who seemed to be reading from a script, saying they were reviewing applications and would reach out if they needed more info. Six months have passed since the priority application deadline. Still no word -- except that they have the nerve to keep contacting my student with marketing materials. So, clearly they have accurate contact info. Even highly selective Harvard communicates with all applicants to let them know if they're in or out. Yet, NBSS can't get its act together to offer applicants the courtesy of sending a timely rejection email. There is something seriously wrong, in my opinion, with an artisan and trade school that charges $30K a year but treats prospective applicants and families in this manner. In my view, it's a big red flag, and I'd be curious to know if others have had similar experiences.

Cool campus, like a mix of different architectural styles. Interesting people. I made a lot of friends and had a lot of fun. Interesting classes. Other cool stuff, like international exchange programs, iron pouring, you name it. Heck, I learned how to throw pots by hanging out on the ceramics floor outside of class. I genuinely enjoyed my time there and miss it. But there were good reasons why I left. At the end of the day, this is a school, not a summer camp. MassArt lags behind in more technically inclined disciplines, or anything in the field of entertainment. The student postgrad employment rate in chosen fields is... abysmal. Like, half the people there want to be concept artists or key artists or animators for games and film, but most of the professors in those subject areas don't seem to have a lot of recent experience working in their fields or industries. What's being taught puts students years, if not decades behind. I still give it 4 stars because it's a great place and there are many opportunities if you're motivated, but it's really a better school if you're a fine artist/craftsman than someone who wants to go into entertainment like I did.
