Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

With their busy schedules, most Babson students can only find time for off-campus dining on the weekends. To relax and enjoy a day at the mall and an awesome lunch, students head to the Atrium Mall on Route 9 East. This cute plaza contains clothes stores like Abercrombie & Fitch and J.Crew, in addition to the famous Cheesecake Factory. It’s best to go there for a Sunday brunch with parents or a dinner with friends. There are also other restaurants in the area, but Mexican is an option the Wellesley area lacks. That’s when you should take your best friend or someone who you don’t mind sharing a car with for 20 minutes and drive into Boston. Leaving campus to dine out is usually a rare pleasure for students, so enjoy it when you can!

The monotony of campus dining can drive anyone to stop enjoying the food at college. The yearning for diversity in food should make even the most studious student try out at least some of the copious places in Wellesley, Boston, and on Route 9 in between the two. The one downside is that students are usually too swamped with homework during the week to be able to enjoy a few hours away from campus, but that’s what weekends are for. Start by exploring the local dining area because there are many tasty options, and they’re not too far from campus.

Not College Oriented

The local area has plenty of high end eateries and some places that deliver, however it is far from College Oriented. The environment is more suited for the very established Wellesley-Natick community due to the rather high prices and lack of fast food joints. Although you can order in Chinese/Pizza any day of the week, the local town ordinances prevents any store from being open past 10pm so after that you are on your own.

Lot of Choices, but Need Transportatio

There is alot of food. However, to get to these places you will need a car or some transportation because walking will not get you there. Unless you order in of course in which you will be fine.

Fast Food Next Town Over

We have awesome restaurants in the area, as well as delivery options for any style of food, but to get the traditional Mc D's, BK, etc. you have to go to the next town over, ten minute drive.
