<p>“Oh yeah the graduates do just as well if not better then Babson’s graduates.”</p>
<p>Prove it… That adds to another one of your stupid you try to pass off as facts. I think Bentley is a great school, but nationally it is almost unheard of. In the business world there is no doubt that Babson is much more well known. Everyone knows Babson as an entrepreneurship school, and because of that it has some sort of a national reputation. I live in Portland Oregon, and if you said Bentley most business people have never heard of it. Babson on the other hand, is pretty well known within the business community here. Plus Babson has a 97% job placement rate (within the first six months of graudation). That says that recruiters are impresssed with Babson grads and the school must be pretty well known to place nearly all of their students. I am wiling to be that Penn. State, UMD, and Bentley can’t touch that number.</p>
<p>scagneas: You brought up a good point that a business school will not dictate your future. Business is one of those fields in which its personal characteristics that propel you just as much as knowledge. Ive talked to a number of managers, and they all say that they don’t even really consider where they went to college, as long as they did. Thats different for recruiters, but ten years post graduation people will not care where you went to college all that much. </p>
<p>Oh… one last thing. I guarantee that people will a Babson diploma will look much more impressive than a Penn. State or UMD dipoloma. Why? Because they are state schools. State schools are good, but in general, because of the sheer volume of graduates/students, they don’t look impressive. In other words, UMD and Penn State graduates are just one of the thousands of graduates each year, most of whom are average students. So even if you are a brilliant person, your overall reputation as a graduate of a school, rides on the overall opinion of the school. </p>
<p>Dunkaroo: One of the reasons I chose Babson was becuase of the lack of parties… Partying isn’t the only fun thing to do in college. I bet I will have just as much fun as you, except I will have fun in different ways than you.</p>
