theres just a lot more than meets the eye with babson students. unfortunately – and i’ll place some of the blame on the administration and the fact that we’re a business school and inherently uber competitive – we just don’t take the time to get below the babson skin.

look, everyone is a good person here – this place just makes us assholes.

will it stop? can it stop?
