Babson College Reviews

Classes are definitely...

Classes are definitely interesting; if anyone disagrees, he or she should look to transfer since the class is tailored well to business and entrepreneurship. Some liberal arts classes are boring, and some are a nice break from business, business, and business. Teachers are great, all with different personalities, but they are all experienced and in the right position.

The classes are interesting; the...

The classes are interesting; the faculty is very knowledgeable as far as business classes are concerned. Science teachers are terrible, and interesting liberal arts classes are far and few in between.

Off-campus housing isn’t very...

Off-campus housing isn’t very convenient, because it’s really expensive, but most of the students here are wealthy and can probably afford it.

Guys and girls on campus are...

Guys and girls on campus are definitely sub-par in the looks department, compared to state schools. But hey, they are going to work for us someday.

In my experience, the drug scene...

In my experience, the drug scene basically consists of marijuana. I haven’t come across any hard drugs in my time here. Marijuana isn’t widespread, but it is definitely a presence on campus.

I love Babson. It is not a college...

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.

Sometimes, I wish I was somewhere...

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 like everything here, but I wish...

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.

There are a lot of things I would...

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.

The faculty is very personable. I...

The faculty is very personable. I only have had wonderful experiences with the faculty. The classes that deal with business are very interesting, but the liberal arts classes do not have as much interest to me. The faculty could be better for those classes.

The facilities on campus are all...

The facilities on campus are all top-notch. Babson’s landscaping crew never sleeps, and all of our dorms have recently been upgraded with wireless Internet. Students also have access to several business tools, such as Bloomberg, in the Cutler Center.

A couple of the fraternities throw...

A couple of the fraternities throw some of the best parties. TKE definitely is the most ridiculous fraternity and the only fraternity that any of the athletic teams like. The sororities rarely throw parties but Chi-Oh and Kappa definitely go searching for parties—and guys—the most.

Like any school, you can find...

Like any school, you can find people who abuse all types of drugs. It is underground, and you don’t really see any of it, unless you seek it out.

Excellent. I wouldn’t want to be...

Excellent. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Too bad I am already halfway done. It is a unique college, but it lacks something socially. All-in-all, for some reason, I like it a lot, though.

Sometimes, I wish I had gone to a...

Sometimes, I wish I had gone to a bigger school, but I think the education would not have been as good. I have had a great time here, and I don’t really have any regrets.

Babson is great for academics, and...

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.

The drug scene does not appear to...

The drug scene does not appear to be a huge problem here.

The most widely-used drug is...

The most widely-used drug is probably marijuana. I know some people who use it. But if you want to get hold of coke, I’m sure that you can find a dealer here. Just be careful who you talk to, because of reputation issues. Prescription drugs are also common because they are used by some kids to keep awake and for studying at night.

A student can find a supplier for...

A student can find a supplier for almost any drug, but use beyond marijuana is rare.

More people do drugs than one...

More people do drugs than one would think. There are also a lot more types of drugs than I thought there were here.

I’ve never witnessed any drug...

I’ve never witnessed any drug worse than weed being used on campus. That doesn’t mean that drug use doesn’t happen, but it does mean that it isn’t everywhere, and that it isn’t obvious.

The campus seems pleasantly clean...

The campus seems pleasantly clean of drugs. I’m sure that it goes on behind the scenes, but not a lot—it’s not obvious, and I don’t know many people that are addicted to drugs.

People keep it in their rooms; out...

People keep it in their rooms; out of sight and out of mind.

A decent amount of people do coke,...

A decent amount of people do coke, prescriptions, and marijuana. It’s not as noticeable because nobody talks about it.

There are many attractive people...

There are many attractive people at Babson College. Babson students tend to be always up-to-date on current fashion trends and always wearing the best designers. This happens because many are international students, and they get their clothes cheaply from Europe, where fashion comes from.
