Academically, there are two reasons that I find Babson attractive. 1) The Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship (FME) course, which is a class that is focused on providing hands-on experience to entrepreneurs. Students will learn how to start a business and will internalize the lessons learned because everything is applied. 2) Students begin Freshmen year with Business Law and Accounting, students get there hands dirty learning about the business that s/he is interested in.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Babson attracts a lot of students from different parts of the country, as well as from different parts of the world. My first roommate is from Texas and the second is from Connecticut. The roommate that I had before that was from Pennsylvania. Just in my hall, there are girls from China, India, Korea, California, etc. I enjoy being in the Babson atmosphere, where everyone doesn't mind saying hi to everyone else.
