I am thinking of transferring colleges (Boston area)

<p>Right now I am in Babson College (a business school, basically).</p>

<p>I want to major in most likely finance (I know, bad timing ;) but I feel like Boston University may be more enjoyable for me. I also enjoy being in the city more. However, the value of the education and degree are first priority for me. I am also a freshman. For my sophomore year, I am looking to transfer.</p>

<p>Would anyone recommend this? Or is Babson probably a better place to stay at. Parents aren't really entrepreneurs, either, so....</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Babson is a great business school, so I would stay there. Unless you are having a horrible time there of course.</p>

<p>lol how's babson ? I'm thinking about going there next year. is babson only good at entrepreneurship ?
btw, BU is good tho it has grade inflation (my guardian goes to BU) and you will meet bunch of smart students. but u gotta think about money. BU cost is high (tuition and everything for fun)</p>

<p>Well, I am not having a horrible time.</p>

<p>And no, I don't feel its good only at entrepreneurship, although its one of the best in that league. I feel it's other business aspects are very high. The environment is very business-like and being only a freshman here, I feel it prepares you well.</p>

<p>I think the cost between BU and Babson are really small. Only a few kids at Babson are probably concerned about money, as M3's and A6's are aplenty. But grade inflation, huh, not good. I like it because mainly of the city aspect, I can have more fun, I end up driving to the city far far too often. </p>

<p>Also, buying an apartment with friends at BU and Northeastern already, helps make my move easier.</p>

<p>But I mainly want to know is BU at the same level as Babson, which I have a feeling it is not.</p>

<p>I think BU is in higher level. I'm not BU student so I cannot say anything more. but looking at my guardian I think he's found his match.</p>

<p>Why don't you post this on the BU forum and ask current management students what they think of the program?</p>

<p>I don't know much about BU's business program (I have a degree in CS from BU) but Babson seems to be pretty well regarded. One of our engineers went to Babson part-time for his MBA and got hired to do consulting work with his newly minted degree.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks. I am getting an idea of what to do....probably not transfer.</p>

<p>ranga55, BU and Babson are roughly on the same ground when it comes UG Business. So I'd recommend you go with fit. Since you like BU better, transfer to BU.</p>

<p>imo u should stay in babson for another year and see if u fully like it
if u like to stay in another area, go to BU (but the junior year in BU is wicked tough, my guardian didn't sleep and take showers for 3 days to complete the project :/)</p>

<p>Ditto the above poster. SMG's junior year CORE project is intense madness.</p>
