This is a great school for teaching entrepreneurship, but it's a terrible school for entrepreneurs. Red tape and bureaucracy are everywhere, and the environment is anything but conducive to creativity. I thought that the best way to profit off my talents was to learn business, which is what I did. However, I have struggled to feed my creative side from Day One. This school is a cookie cutter and trains very good businessmen. But for creative individuals, it's almost like I've lost something by coming here.

Often referred to as "business boot camp", freshman year at Babson is very challenging. However, the workload gets easier every year for the most part. Babson is the school to attend for someone who is very serious about a future career path. That said, it is not the school to attend if you are looking for a well-rounded, typical college experience.

While my four years spent at Babson have not been the most enjoyable, it has been well worth it career-wise after having received six competitive job offers before Thanksgiving break.

The level of competitiveness in Babson students is overwhelming because it is very near cutthroat.

[Babson] is hands-on, provides you with knowledge on how to lead, work in a team, analyze situations, and then find and implement the necessary resources.
