Is babson prestigious?

<p>Well the guy who hates the school 6 kids is not very much at all out of a total of 100 or 125. NYU Stern and the other top business schools put a lot more in with full-time offers. You said you are screwed for research or trading and only 1 to 3 offers for fulltime for IBanking. Screwed for consulting. Sure you can get hired by these investment banks, but as you said only 1 to 3 kids get full time offers.</p>

<p>That is more then some schools but I wouldn’t call that exactly stellar. </p>

<p>I see you didn’t know that the school was so materialistic. Have you thought about transferring elsewhere?</p>

<p>Oh yeah here is a link I found that outlines what arrogance is at the school and a response.</p>

<p>I see these international students probably have $$$ but it is not their money it is their parents money. They also aren’t contributing much to the U.S. popularity because they go back and just take what is handed down to them. I think that is a major fault for Babson because instead of increasing its name in the U.S. which will be necessary if it is to ever rise to elite status many students just go back overseas to take over what was already created.</p>

<p>I was originally committed to Bentley College (Babson’s rival) until I changed my mind to Penn State. Bentley also has a lot of rich kids but the money is sort of hidden in that people have a lot of it but don’t flaunt it. Sure you have the Bimmers, rich international kids and clubbing but it is kind of taken for granted that many kids are rich so everyone just goes about their business. Even at Bentley with the kids whose parents are worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars and with a number of exotic cars such as Ferraris all around campus there never seems to be an overwhelming materialistic nature. Sure people recognize it but they don’t feel like they need a more expensive car, higher gpa or more exclusive designer then the person who has it all (the person next to them). Perhaps take a look there. I regret not accepting their offer. The connections and job placement are also supposed to be terrific.</p>
