BABSON fest 2005 READ ME!

<p>hey how easy is it to get to grad school from babson??</p>

<p>is it prestigious?</p>

<p>are there lots of alumni around the world? </p>

<p>babson sounds good, but ive never heard of it until it sent stuff to me from the mail... (and if places send ME mail, well... then it becomes questionable)</p>

<p>so, please please please give some recommendations or some comments!</p>

<p>I'm thinking of transfering to Babson from Penn State but after what I've read about the place I wouldn't even bother applying. I've read that the workload is very tough and therefore gpa's are very low. They are very good in entrepreneuership (the best) but how many people do you know majored in entrepreneurship? Furthermore how many school do you know that even offer entrepreneurship as a major? (There isn't much competition for that top spot as not many schools offer an entrepreneurship major and Babson was founded as an entrepreneurial school)</p>

<p>I've read that the students are extremely arrogant. If you search my post for "Babson a good school but what is this?" you will see the sad arrogance of one international student.</p>

<p>It is a good school for entrepreneurship but it is also very small with only 1700 kids so the campus obviously can not be too busy.</p>

<p>It is near Boston but still 15 miles away. If you don't have a car you are completely screwed because there is no public transportation and even if you have a car after you go to a club getting back isn't always fun.</p>

<p>I would love to be in the city of Boston itself and would much rather attend Boston University or Boston College due to better student bodies and national recognition.</p>
