Why Babson

“If you want a close-knit community where you can count on people knowing your name, I would definitely choose Babson. Not only does the college have an outstanding reputation, but the people who work here make it all worthwhile. Everything is available to you at almost a moment’s notice. There are so many opportunities here and they are always presented in some manner. All you have to do is take advantage of them!”

On Babson’s Faculty

“Babson’s faculty is amazing. Everyone here has accomplished so much and is so willing to share resources with their students. They really want everyone to do well. Most are very willing to hand out home phone numbers and addresses, and provide ample amounts of office hours and meeting times. The faculty here really is the backbone of the academic structure.”

Most Proud Moment

“I am very proud that my soccer team made it to the finals in ’07. We haven’t made the finals since 1998, and even though we lost, it was still such a great experience. I am very passionate about soccer and my friends and Babson has given me a whole new opportunity to pursue my career in soccer while simultaneously allowing me to build new friendships.”

On Babson’s Approach to Teaching

“In high school, learning was usually done by seeing and hearing. Actually doing real work in the classroom has really helped me understand aspects of business culture. I feel that this approach is beneficial for students because it will be easier once they get to the real world to act accordingly.”
