Babson College

Major: Business - Management and Administration (This Major's Salary over time)
I hate to tell you but I don’t think this place is all that it is cracked out to be. Babson has a tremendous marketing and PR department that makes the school look great, but in actuality it is not up to par with its reputation. It has been said over and over again that Babson offers the number one undergraduate and graduate entrepreneurial program in the world. However I feel like am being bread to sit in a cubical all day. Granted I have learned far more than any of my friends at other schools in business programs. I have acquired a tremendous wealth of first hand knowledge and have certainly got my hands dirty. the entrepreneurial spirit is very much alive here, but it does not seem like the administration knows how to foster and promote it. I have found the curriculum to be to structured and tiresome. A one dimensional student who has learned how to rip apart a financial statement but has not filled his head with any sort of worthwhile liberal arts will fail in the business world. I feel students here are deprived of an interesting education. If you can live your life in a way that enables you to forgo intellectual stimulation than Babson will be ok for you. If you suck it up for the four years I guess it will be worth your while, judging by what everyone says. But I will tell you one thing I am OUT OF HERE!
