Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Whether you are going to be a first year student or a transfer, Babson does a great job with getting you integrated into the school. The community is a good size to get to know the people you will be spending the next years with, and the faculty and staff members are very nice so they serve as helpful resources for your learning and networking.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
If you are a person that loves to be challenged then Babson College is the right school for you! Students in their first year get to start their own business with their peers. This allows students to learn exactly the operations and methods that come with running a business. Also classes such as History, Society and Foundation (a class which is required for your first year) really pushes you to see the world in a deeper context and understand the problems we face today as a society. This allows students to, from the start, think of ways to help the world with their future business or to get a better understanding of the self. College is no longer just about grades, it is more about the learning experience that you can take with you into your desired career field.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life on campus is suitable for either the student that loves a peaceful setting or the student that loves to have fun. Students have the choice of choosing a residence hall where it is peaceful and quiet or a regular residence hall. The neat thing about some of the residence halls is... you have your own bathroom!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food on campus is pretty good. Trim, the dining hall, serves anything from hot foods such as yummy lasagna, mash potatoes, chicken, burgers, sandwiches, and pizza. If you are trying to eat healthy, then you have a choice between salads, boiled eggs, brown rice, sandwiches, and soup to cold cuts. If you want to take a break from the dining hall or you just don't have time to sit down and eat then there are also restaurants such as Pizza Hut and Dunkin Donuts on campus where you can buy something quick to eat.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Babson College holds various school dances throughout the school year. There are also plays and dance recitals that are very fun to attend. Babson also does some cool events that bring the community together such as movie nights and build your own gingerbread house in the winter. For those who want to go off campus there is a shuttle that brings students to the train station in which they can take to get into downtown Boston, or students can take a shuttle to go to the beautiful Natick Mall.
