well ask yourself a few questions - do you care about overall prestige? only experts would know about babson. it HAS been ranked #1 entrep. for 12 years so that says something...

Im a senior, and I've actually gotten into Babson already. BUT, I also applied to USC, as my top dream school. I'm looking to study really anything in business, from Entrepreneurship to Management. I feel I would have a much better time and enjoy school a whole lot more at USC! I still haven't gotten a decision yet, but I would certainly choose USC over Babson.

I'm a senior too (got into 5 schools so far, Babson included), and although I do not know much about USC, I'd say you have to make that decision yourself.

If you're looking for a very motivated business-centered student body, then Babson might be the right place for you. It's not too far from Boston so you can go there on weekends and it is a fantastic university in its own name.

However, USC seems like a great place and according to the above posters, perhaps higher regarded. If you don't like USC, then it's reasonable to consider transferring to Babson. If you like USC, have friends, and are enjoying your time but are just intrigued by Babson's entrepreneurship... maybe you should think twice before transferring. I'm sure USC would give you a fine business education... remember, no one needs a specialized degree to start a company (or to be of a certain age, for that matter).

I had always been hoping to go to a big university too. Schools like USC are known all over the world, and carry prominent names. That seems to be important, especially while looking for a job. Though a small school like Babson would be pleasant, I always saw myself at the big prestigious "Hoo Ra!" university.

But this is also being said before I've visited any of the schools.
I'm sure to get a better feel of things after I've seen them all
