[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a business school though it does incorporate the liberal arts and sciences.  It is not a pre-business school and unless one believes undergraduate business schools are deemed "pre business"   It is not a university but there are opportunities to take classes at Olin (engineering) and at Wellesley.  Babson has a first year class Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship, which is unique.  It is a year long class where students start, manage and then wind down a business.  "Students work in teams to launch, manage, and liquidate a business venture.  While participating, topics like marketing, accounting, information systems, and organizational behavior while experiencing the challenges of teamwork, uncertainty, and decision-making."  There is a lot of hands on learning and a focus on entrepreneurial leadership.

A homogeneous culture, to some extent I would agree, all interested in some sort of business path,  But there is also diversity there is quite a large international population,   for its size there are many clubs as well as its proximity to Boston and over 250K undergraduate students in the Boston vicinity.

There is a small Greek life presence, for sports it is D3 and no football team so if looking for that type of school spirit, Babson may not be the place.  Wellesley is a cute town, Babson's campus is an idyllic New England campus
 
The President of the school is doing a fabulous job, Babson is finding its niche and is no longer a pre business school for kids not smart enough for Wharton, Stern etc.

Good luck and if your daughter is seriously considering I suggest heading up to Wellesley and checking it out.
