College Prowler Take
The best way to describe Babson is at first you’ll feel like a fish out of water, but as time goes on you somehow survive and become a lizard with tougher skin. No matter how hard you think your high school was, nothing can prepare you for the incredible and challenging academic life of a Babson freshman. Most students agree that the workload is by far larger than they initially expected. And although it takes some time to get used to the curriculum, students feel that the impeccable education is worth it. Those who are unhappy with their education here are usually just not used to it yet. Many say that the school is too small and they get bored walking around campus and seeing the same people all the time. Voicing the fact that this college is smaller than many high schools is not uncommon here. Some students also complain that too many of their peers come from the same economic backgrounds, even though the campus is diverse in other aspects. The social scene, however, is better than expected for a business-oriented school, although it’s not a party school by far. Students here are very serious about their education, and many are very competitive. School size is also directly proportional to the faculty-to-student ratio, which is where Babson excels in comparison to larger business schools. This ratio is important for the special attention that students receive from faculty. Professors are very well-educated and try their best to convey their knowledge to the young Babsonians. Although the workload can be shocking at first, it gets better with time. Most enjoy the challenges and hurdles of Babson’s college experience, and believe that the education they receive is valuable to their future careers, and their future in general. Students Speak Out

I like everything here, but I wish it was 8,000 students instead of 1,800. As a senior, I can honestly say that I know most of the student body except the freshmen, and I’m sure I’ll meet tons of them this weekend if I stay on campus. |

Sometimes, I wish I was somewhere else, but overall, it’s a great place for a stellar education. The only thing I would really change about Babson is to relocate it to Boston. |

I love Babson. It is not a college for those who wish to do no work, not attend class, or just party. It is a school for people who want to do well in life. Babson trains people for the rigorous business world. I would not rather be at any other college. The education here is priceless, especially because much of it is ‘hands-on,’ and I feel it’s good practice for my future career. |

There are a lot of things I would change about Babson—workload, GPA deflation, and some social aspects of Babson. At times, I enjoy it, and at other times, I am totally ready to leave. Right now, I’m having a good time. |

Babson is great for academics, and the social scene is better than expected. We’re number one in entrepreneurship, and that’s why I’m here—I love it. |
