Babson Marketing Major

We are all rich and have nice cars. We are always on our cell phones. The international kids all smoke and hang out almost exclusively with each other. All we care about is making money. It's a conservative campus. There are no gay people.

Not all of them. International kids do definately stick together and there are very wealthy people here but for the most part everyone is modest so you would never know what their family income is. People are actually always on their phones but its usually because they want something to do while they walk to class and not because they are symbollically telling people to go away. As for gay people, as a gay person myself I must admit there are few openly gay people but a ton of closested people. As for all we care about is money, that is half true. We work hard and try to beafen up our resumes as much as we can so we can get good jobs but we don't talk about business or money outside of class.

The best thing about Babson is that the classes are intergrated and you can use information from one class into the next. The campus is gorgeous and well maintained. Our dorms and building are maintined like the grounds and rooms of a hotel. When I tell people I go to Babson most of them have no idea where or what it is. Tell anyone in New England and they will bow down to you and think you are the smartest person in the world. I spend most of my time on campus at the campus center just hanging out with my friends or attending a meeting of some sort. Here at Babson there is a ton of group work so be prepared for a crap load of meetings and schedule conflicts. I also spend a lot of time in the dance studios. I am a choreographer for the dance group here so I spend aobout 10 hours a week in the dance studio. Wellesley is a small but really nice looking town. Its the second richest town in the state and on your drive to Babson as you pass all of the houses you will be able to clearly see that. There are a few places we all order out from. A pizza place, chinese, tai, and more pizza. Pizza is big here. School pride is kinda funny. We are not really into sports...like at all. The people who play them are dedicated but almost no one makes a big deal about sporting events. I will always remember my dancing experience here. I have never had an outlet to dance in front of an audiance and Babson has made that possible for me. The weirdest thing about babson is we are obsessed with the laptops the school gives us. We take them everywhere and Instant message our friends in the same room. We get so used to having wireless internet that it makes us really mad if our internet doesnt work for some reason. It's like the end of the world status. Gay culture in Babson is odd. Everyone is perfectly accepting of gay people, sometimes they like us a little to much. But the culture between openly gay people is minimal. We all know the others exist but its really a hi and bye relationship.

Professors know my name but this is where I get really upset with Babson. I HATE math or number related classes and they make me take it until the end of my junior year. I get terrible grades and my GPA goes down. The science classes are a joke, the liberal arts are super boring and have way to much reading. The business classes are really really good. Especially when you take classes with things you actually care about.

A lot of people stick together by race. Asians with asians, indians with indians etc. But its not because they don't like other people but only because they can relate to them. They have tons of other friends from all over the world. Its just the main group they hang out with is usually the same race as they are. A lot of people are wealthy but they are modest and humble so you wouldnt know.

WE NEED MORE GAY PEOPLE!
