Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

Definitely not a party school

This is really NOT a school for party animals. I happan to like that a lot because I am not a party person. Don't get me wrong, I like to have a fun time with my friends every now and then, yet I do not like to have a serious distraction from my work. Boston isn't far so if you must crave your party desires go ahead. Parties at Babson can get crammed and many people still dance as if they are in middle-school (they don't really have rhythm). So my suggestion is that Babson people should take some dance lessons so they can have more moves than just grinding. Lastly, BABO (campus police) are not scared to break up a party. This results in parties moving from point A to B to C to Z.

Terrible

On-Campus are terrible, usually about 50 people crammed in a 15 by 15 living room of a suite. Greek parties are ok, but have to be kept low key or the fraternities will get in a lot of trouble. The best option is to go into boston to BU or another larger school, or to the nightclubs, but be willing to spend upwards of $500 on a table if you go with international students.

Great!

There is always a party whether it is at the frats or peoples dorms. There is a bar on campus so if you're over 21 it is a good time!
