Cheapest Place to Get a Drink

Roger’s Pub

College Prowler Take

Years ago, it was common to walk into the Pub and not even get your ID checked, allowing you to slip on a fake bracelet and drink all night long! Today this is highly unlikely, especially because BABO now has an electronic license card reader. Other hot on-campus party spots have been found in the Trans-Atlantic Tower on the third floor of Coleman Hal, and in Bryant Hall. These are not very good places for large parties, but they are great for socializing and mingling with friends. A free "beer garden" is provided by the school, so sometimes there is no need for a pre-party for the 21-and-over crowd. If the on-campus parties start getting boring and you are looking to get off campus, Boston is the best place to fulfill almost anyone’s wants and needs.

If you’re under 21, the nightclub scene is right for you because there are plenty of fun places that cater to the underage crowd in and around Boston. If you are looking to play pool with friends, go clubbing, or listen to a jazz band play, you can find all that and more in the downtown area. If you don’t want to leave campus, there are plenty of parties, which are relatively chill compared to the dress-up game that you might be forced to play when going into Boston (numerous places have dress code rules). Plus, nothing beats getting free beer—whether it’s at Roger’s Pub, at a Knight Party, or in one of the many suite parties that one of your friends is apt to inform you about.

I like on campus parties because I feel safe anywhere on Babson campus and because I love to dance, and there is always music to groove to. You meet a lot of new people and form fast friendships at the parties on campus. Parties on campus help to relieve the weekly stress that builds up with my hectic schedule.

On-campus parties are fun, there is usually something to do, and the Babson Police tend to be relaxed in terms of breaking them up.

I like the Babson party scene. There’s a good amount of partying, but nothing so crazy that you need to take time off from college and recuperate from it all. There’s a good balance here. I dig it.

Once you turn 21, you definitely need to check out Boston and go to the bars and clubs there.

Babson College isn’t a state...

Babson College isn’t a state school with 20,000 undergraduates. We are a student body of approximately 1,700 undergraduates from all over the country and the world. While we don’t have a school-wide party scene going on every night, we do party. Whether it’s at a frat, a campus club, a senior-sponsored event or even hall and suite parties, Babson students go out and have their fun. Everyone is welcome everywhere.

Truth be told, this nightclub offers one of the hottest upscale night scenes in town. Its chic decor is as much a part of the scenery as the crowd of people donning chi-chi duds. Chill at the bar or the back lounge, then head for the dance floor. Cover is $10–$15.
