Subject: Any experience with Babson?
Babson is the “one of these things is not like the others” school on my kid’s list (everything else is Big 10 or similar undergrad business programs). In the end, I suspect that football and large campuses will win out but Babson is still in the conversation and a genuinely unique, impressive and very well-respected school.

I personally prefer more well-rounded people who have been taught to think and I will mold them, but many businesses feel otherwise.
People need to stop claiming that someone went to a certain school because they weren’t smart enough to go to another certain school. You have no idea why students chose the school they did. And “smart” is such a generic word it means nothing standing alone.

Our tour guide did the same thing. Strange.

I saw a list recently that listed colleges business programs based on students success in the workplace and other things I cannot remember. Babson was high on the list.

Comparing 2 top 50 colleges with numerous majors to essentially an undergraduate business school.
Ignorant.

What are orange girls?
The orange fake tans.
It was quite obvious because we visited in March, toward the end of winter.
