<p>Anybody knows about Babson College? It seems that the people I asked about it have little/no idea about this college. </p>
<p>Is it considered to be a reputable business school in US? </p>
<p>I'm just wondering on which level does it stand with the other colleges/universities.</p>
<p>I don't know much about it except that it's supposed to be mainly for business. I was there doing a summer program a couple years ago and it has a pretty campus! Other than that, I can't help too much.</p>
<p>Babson is very, very, preprofessional and yes, mainly good for business. It's pretty conservative for a school in MA.</p>
<p>babson focuses mainly just on entrepreneurship</p>
<p>But I am wondering: if babson college is considered to be a good business school, why does it is not well-known internationally? </p>
<p>Most people in my country have never heard of Babson College before. I also only found out abt it not until when I searched for universities.</p>
<p>It's just good，not great。It's also a tiny college and not a huge research university - Plenty of people in Massachusetts haven't heard about it either</p>
<p>It's not far from Harvard though.</p>
<p>I became aware of Babson when I lived in Boston many years ago. It was well regarded for business. While I wouldn't take the Business Week rankings as gospel, Business</a> School Rankings and Profiles: EMBA, Executive Education, MBA, Part-time MBA, Distance MBA, you can see that Babson places well. If I remember correctly, Babson only offers business degrees.</p>
<p>I live in the area. If you are interested purely in business, and don't mind a smaller campus, then it is a good choice. It has a very good name and reputation in the Boston area. It is located in Wellesley, about 15 miles from Boston. Wellesley is a very upscale community, and Babson is more upper class and conservative.</p>
<p>I also live in area. Babson borders on Olin College of Engineering. I believe one can also take advantage of what it has to offer if you are enrolled at Babson. You can search their respective websites for further info.</p>
<p>to say babson is not well known internationally because u asked a couple people in your country is very ignorant. Ask people in the business world and they will know it. I am going to babson next year and people who ask me where i am going generally have no clue what it is. those with any business background though will immediately know it and tell you its a great school</p>
<p>Williams is also not very well known among people in general. It's just not very big.</p>
<p>Babson is very highly regarded in the business world.
You are simply misinformed if you think it is not</p>
<p>Both my parents went to Babson, and enjoyed it. It is a great program if you are certain that you want to go into business. Olin College is bascially on its campus (students can do activities at both I think). It has been profiled in US News many times as a great school.</p>
<p>How well regarded is it outside the Boston area? Because to be honest, the only way I've ever heard of it (not being from Boston) was through the Preppy Handbook, years ago.</p>
<p>I go to Babson. A few years ago, outside of the Boston area, it would be hard for people to recognize Babson nationally. However, the new administration at Babson is working hard to get it nationally recognized. We do receive many prestigious rankings, like #1 school for entrepreneurship in the world, and last October we were featured in Kaplan's 25 hottest schools for being the "Hottest Business School" (which then enticed free T-Shirts for everyone at the school that said "this is why we're hot" haha). It is also internationally recognized for its entrepreneurship program and its faculty.</p>
<p>I sound like a walking advertisement for Babson but honestly, I love it there. I'm going into my senior year and couldn't be happier. Def. check it out!</p>
<p>I haven't heard very good things about Babson. The campus is supposed to be nice though. Only consider this school if you are 100% sure you want to go into business.</p>
