Hello everyone! My name is Andrew Darling and I am a junior here at Babson. I worked in the office over the summer and am now back on campus after finishing an amazing semester abroad. During the past semester, I participated in one of Babson’s study abroad programs titled BRIC: The Cornerstone of the Global…
Back from BRIC. Back to Babson. Don’t get me wrong I missed this campus, the people and classes, but my abroad experience was like no other. Going to Russia, China and India as part of the Babson BRIC program was truly one of the best experiences of my life! So a quick rundown for those…
Two Sundays ago there was a holiday that honors a Saint. I honestly do not know much about this holiday as it is a very minor one. However, the way the Spaniards celebrate in Barcelona is with a parade and carnival-type games and rides for children. When we arrived, we had no idea what was…
A few weekends ago, I went to Montserrat. This is a mountain that is about an hour and a half by train from Barcelona. The first place I visited was a beautiful monastery. It is called Santa Maria. Inside, one can see the same colorful stained glass, smooth arches, and intricate marble carvings that are…
Last week, a few friends and I ventured to La Sagrada Familia. I can honestly say this is the most spectacular man-made landmark I have ever seen. From the outside, there are billions of small crevices that are carefully sculpted. As mentioned in my last post, the building can be seen from my residencia window–truly spectacular! When…
Hello again! As I mentioned in my last post a couple of months ago, I am currently studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain. Since my experiences have been incredible, I thought it would be nice to update you with occasional blog updates. I am living in a residencia, apartment-style living for Spanish and international students. This…
It’s not everyday that prospective students have the opportunity to sit down and chat with an Undergraduate Admission Director, so here at Babson we pulled out our brainstorming hats, put them on and got thinking…why don’t we bring our Director, Courtney Minden, to you? So we did! You can catch the FULL recap here: #babsonchat.…
This past summer, I spent 2 months studying at the London School of Economics, working at one of the largest financial institutions in the US, and living in the city of London. My summer in London was, without doubt, the best two months of my life, and seeing the summer Olympics while in London didn’t…
Pardon my adaptation to a childish reference but I think it was well deserved here. I was recently accepted to travel to London this winter for my offshore program with Babson. Two weeks of intensive theater and I am absolutely stoked. Many people would be stoked about the city, not to say that I’m not…
It’s that time of year again, the sun is out, birds are chirping, and all the leaves and flowers are in bloom. While it is one of my favorite times of the year because we get to barbecue and enjoy the beautiful weather, this year I cannot seem to enjoy it as much. Why you…
