What the Hell was the Senior Fee for?
Comments(1)
This is it. The countdown to that thing that happens on May 19. Nightly SODA parties and awaiting the upcoming senior week. Finally putting that $200 “senior fee” to good use! (Ya know, the one that was charged to every senior’s bill at the beginning of the school year, which can be seen in the Babson portal.)
But wait… what’s this?! A $200 senior fee but also a $205 charge to sign-up for senior week??
Yes, that’s right. We just had to pay $205 for senior week (if we wanted the reduced rate,) and anyone still planning to sign-up will be paying $265 or some other ridiculous amount.
What do we get for that $405 (or $465)? There is a trip to Mohegan Sun and a senior ball in Boston, but otherwise just some barbecues on campus and the “last pub night.” In other words, things that happen anyway during the school year and are usually free.
After shelling out $160k these past four years, why not just include the cost there? Babson has the audacity to charge us $205 for this after tacking on an extra $200 fee earlier this year? It’s minuscule compared to tuition, but the principle of the matter pisses us off.
I’m assuming that senior fee covers our cap and gown, which we get to keep after graduating! Woo hoo, something else to clutter my closet floor!

If “seniors” actually acted responsibly in terms of paying their individual bills through their 4 years and also didn’t throw couhes out windows or break everything in the halls throughout the year and senior week, you wouldn’t have to worry about $200 . . . . . I can’t believe we’re voted one of the hottest business schools and people can’t figure out that information on their own. Hey, go out and have a great time, but why the hell do some people have to destroy things?? That’s one thing I could never figure out . . . .
As I’m going through this now, I have to admit, I understand some of the comments I heard last year getting ready for this year. Let’s all have fun and if you want to break anything, go back to your own house and do it there . . it may not be Jordan’s Furniture here, but we own it from Sept – May, so why break it?
