The faculty was impressive and engaging, my classmates were smart, fun, entrepreneurial and adventurous, and the curriculum was fantastic, especially in the second-year electives. The vibe was much more of a "community" than other schools I visited and the student body was more diverse and interesting than people I met at other programs. -- Finance
I think the program was exceptional. I would not suggest the school to people who want strictly finance jobs out of school, as this is not what the school focuses on. -- Entrepreneurship
The program is becoming worse progressively, and Babson Administration is completely deaf to student's concerns. -- Entrepreneurship
There are two areas for future improvement: Admission office --Some students with a very low level of class performance got full scholarships-- and more support for internationa job search -- Consulting
It was great experience to study my MBA at Babson. If I had to choose again in a second life, I would definitely choose Babson. -- Entrepreneurship
Babson's MBA program is grossly underrated. Everything about their MBA program is top-notch. -- Finance
I believe that Babson has an excellent integrated program for MBA candidates that are not solely focused on a career on Wall Street. The school offers a diverse offering of elective courses with a strong focus on entrepreneurship. -- Entrepreneurship
Babson is a great school and has a well balanced class profile. It is not a typical school in the sense that it does not get lot of finance, consulting folks. However, it gets lot of small entrepreneurs, family business folk who provide lot of value to the education out here. Quality of education, professors, facilities are quite good and I would definitely recommend to friends. -- Information Technology
I will recommend Babson College to anyone who is interested in Entrepreneurship program because I really want them to have such a great experience and opportunity that I gained from Babson. -- Entrepreneurship
The School has a specific positioning around entrepreneurship. If that is what my friends or collegues want this is the right school; if not, there are many other options to consider. -- Finance
For a person with interest in entrepreneurship, Babson is the school to go to. Nevertheless, the faculty as well as the network offers great opportunitites in Financial services or strategic consulting for top students. -- Finance
It has the greatest entrepreneurial teaching in the world. Always pushing you to understand every aspect of the business withoutt loosing felixibility and dynamism. -- Venture Capital/Private Equity
Babson is a very special place. It may not be well-suited for those chasing MBA programs based on rankings; however, if you are looking for a vibrant & integrated curriculum, where unconventional approaches to learning are sometimes taken, then this is definitely a place where you can experiment and be creative. -- Venture Capital/Private Equity
I got the education I wanted. I think there is room for improvement in several areas, but I think the faculty is working hard to make those improvements. I think it gets better every year. -- Entrepreneurship
The MBA program has a diverse student body (almost half are international students). Babson also teaches with a teamwork format and therefore you are not competing with your classmates like at other b-schools. This leads to good network of colleagues for future business. -- Finance
Babson faculty are very knowledgeable and pushed me to achieve excellence. They made me think in a different way and gave me tremendous new insights. The students were humble and had a zeal to learn. Most of them were entrepreneurs. The learning from outside the class room was tremendous. -- Entrepreneurship
