Babson, an institution that prides itself upon its ethics and management skills as being first and foremost among its principles. But strangely, more than just the majority, more like almost all of the management are not educated or trained in or even aware of Babson’s curriculum or principle beliefs. See where I’m going yet?

A long time ago, my father instilled in me that in order for anyone to take you seriously, you need to practice what you preach. If you don’t follow through, with what you profess to others, you’ll lose their trust and their respect. Pretty simple lesson for a 7 or 8 year old to understand. Yet still, it seems that someone here in Babson’s uppermost management seems to have missed that one.

Lets go through a lil bit of recent events in Administration here at Babson.

Although you may forget this while at Babson, there are actually many wonderful things out there. One of them happens to be Google. And today I’d like to talk about Google, along with a few other things, one of which is college research.

I’m assuming you probably did some sort of research before choosing your college. Maybe you searched Google for comments and reviews, checked Princeton Review, and stuff like that. But did you check Google Video or YouTube? If not, you’re totally missing out!

It works!

Shortly after it began last year, it was apparently disabled through Babson’s Portal. It worked fine in any RSS reader, so Babson must have been blocking it.

But now, for some reason, you can add it to your portal in the RSS feed section. It’s like having Babson deliver you the news of why it sucks.

Add it to Google, my MSN, my Yahoo, etc. too.

If you have ever passed up reading the CrapCampus blog during class for fear that the professor may catch you, fear not.  I have posted a simple “Professor is watching – look busy” link at the top left of the blog.

So if the prof walks by, just click that link and it will look like you are hard at work on your financial statements.

My my my…map hill drive, what a wonderous pile of candy coated shit. To start, residents there had to pay an extra $400 on top of their normal housing payment. what this was for…god only knows. what did it buy?? LETS LIST EM OFF!

New dorm pros:
-brand new, spick n’ span good lookin building!
-full of brand new fridges, totally sweet!
-lots of cabinet space
-big windows, lots of light
-half the building gets a wonderful non-babson view

new dorm CONS:
-they dont clean the suites EVER
-they dont take out the trash, you have to drag it to a trash closet
-no personal air conditioning
-the walls are covered with a non-stick coating so you cant hang posters or hooks with tape
-the result is that you have to nail into the wall or push pin posters which leads to holes which leads to babson charging you 10x more money than normal bc its a new dorm
-cheap walls that damage at the drop of a hat. if you lean on them too hard with your elbow, it makes a dent…which gives babson more $$$$$$$$$
-shallow sinks that splash everywhere
-the washing machine one card thing doesnt work still despite several calls to the glorious company of MAC-GREY
-the keypad locks require both your oneCard and a pin to open, neither will work alone
-on top of that, if you dont hit the numbers the right way or at the right timing, it wont work, its kind of like an IQ test. when intoxicated, you often fail that IQ test
-the built in closets limit the ways you can layout your room
-the cheap rubbermaid wire shelf in the closets break often
-there is a complete lack of storage space in the dorm rooms
-in the handicapped suites two people get tiny tiny tiny rooms, and one person gets a room the size of a double, and the last person gets the middle sized room granted this is left “up to chance” its still TOTALLY dick to the people who get small rooms. i feel very sorry for them, and i hate the people who got ginormous rooms.
-when you run out of toilet paper you have to get a key from the RA to the closet to get more and change it yourself.
-there are a total of six security cameras that watch the exterior and entrances to the building at all times. that is fuckin creepy.

ALL THIS FOR AN EXTRA $400! whoopty-fuckin doo!

For the 06-07 academic year, CrapCampus is back and better than ever.  Nothing has changed on the surface, but we had all summer to plan out some big things.  Big things which will be revealed as the year goes on.  For now just know that we have more useful stuff to offer you, our dear readers, and plenty of stuff for Babson’s PR department to have fun with.

It would have made sense to have a friendly “welcome back” post to start off the year, but instead I have decided to mention a few welcome back surprises that Babson gave out.  As you could guess from the title, this is about the new dorm.  (Everyone knows that the old dorms suck, so we’ll leave them out of this…)
