Sam

The most common stereotype about Babson students are that the are rich white snobby kids. I have also heard that Babson has a very high work-load, so students do not go out on the weekend.

Ever since I decided to go to Babson, I have heard every stereotype in the book about our students. No we aren't all diehard business nerds who dream to work on wallstreet. No, we aren't all driving BMW's and use both parking spots that Babson makes available to us. And yes, we DO have parties. Just because our curriculum is challenging, doesn't mean we don't know how to party. Believe it or not, there are down to earth, fun loving kids. However, they can be hard to come by. I think you just need to search a little harder than normal to find the friends you click with best.

Stereotypes of Babson is that there is no social life and the work load is comparable to being at an Ivy. Stereotypes of Babson students are that everyone either has or will be starting their own business, we are all Republicans, and everyone is wealthy.
