Babson College is well known for its opportunities in the classroom where students start their own businesses, consult for real companies, and develop their business skills. While these classes offer great learning possibilities, there are many additional ways to learn from experiences outside the classroom that lead to personal growth and development as a business…
It’s February. You’re a high school senior. You’ve applied to Babson. You’ve been accepted (congrats!) via Early Decision/Early Action and are starting the decision process; OR, you’ve applied via Regular Decision and are waiting to hear back from us in March (hang in there!). Regardless of your scenario, there’s still more you can do! Let me introduce you to…
Last weekend I had the opportunity to visit the “Babson Boulders.” I had never heard of the Babson Boulders before, but recently learned about the history behind them. Located in Dogtown Common, Gloucester, MA, the Babson Boulders were created by Roger Babson during the Great Depression. Babson hired immigrant stone cutters to inscribe large boulders…

It would be impossible to sum up the last four amazing months in this blog post. I’ve been all over the place, from canyoning in Slovenia to cheering on the USA Women’s soccer team at an Olympic game in Scotland. I only found this passion for travel a year and a half ago when I…
Summer adventures started off in South Africa three weeks ago with the Off-Shore course Babson offered to teach high school students entrepreneurship at the University of Stellenbosch.

Hello from foreign lands! I have been in London with Madeline and LIly for little over a month now, participating in the internship and LSE study through the Honors Program at Babson. It makes little sense for me to tell you all we have been doing and how amazing it is to be in…
As I’m sitting in a four-star hotel in Bangkok (thanks to the Babson connection Santi Srichawla for finding the enormous discount that made it possible) I’m still a little bit stunned by the sudden change of scenery. Just three days ago I was living in a triple and had to bike to work in a…
I’ve been in Ayutthaya teaching English to the kids of Big Elephant Temple School for a whole week now. It’s such a shame it has to end so suddenly. A week maybe a very short period, but within this time I got quite attached to this friendly little town. Every morning the three other volunteers…
So finally I am in Thailand. It was really a good thing that I made a few backup plans because 2 of the three original plans didn’t quite work out (let’s not badmouth these organization). Luckily the third organization IFRE helped me out and connected me with a project to teach English in primary temple…
