Yet another example of wasted money… Babson set-up a live webcam so that you can watch the construction of a new residence hall.

It’s exciting…

Too bad it doesn’t include the sound of heavy machinery outside your window or the damage to the roadway…

Babson students are caught in a catch 22 merely by coming here. they realize how unbelievably prepared they’re going to be for college afterlife, as well as the business world. then they realize how miserable they are at a college that isn’t a college. it’s a $42,000 a year, cinderblock walled, exposed pipe, prison. Babson becomes like a class A drug: you love what it does for you, but you cant stop doing it, no matter how bad the withdrawl symptoms are.

Babson is evil. ask any Babson student if they actually like being here. ill bet my pancreas that they’ll say ‘no’. no one comes here for the riveting social scene, it’s the education. and on this point and this point alone that Babson has my praise: they know how to make a businessman. but then, dare I ask why, do Babson students not like Babson? the answer is simple, and easily placed into business terms: great product, terrible service.

I remember when I was a freshman, there was an unconfirmed rumor that Babson had the #8 least happiest campus in America. I say unconfirmed, because I never actually read that statistic anywhere, nor could I even begin to guess how one would measure such a statistic. so why unhappy if were #1 in the field of what we teach?

at a recent mandatory alcohol education seminar that I attended, I learned that 40% more students per capita at Babson binge drink on a weekly basis than the national average. that’s because Babson students have nothing else to do but drink and study (if they have time to drink). for the #1 homework load in the country, Babson does a helluva job letting its ‘cut-loose’ on the weekends. the administration of Babson doesn’t realize that even if babo busts every single party on campus every weekend, kids are still going to be drinking themselves into oblivion. every year a half a dozen freshmen get sent to the hospital within the first week of school. an introduction to the most stressful and work-filled campus in the nation corresponding with young kids drinking themselves into a coma: coincidence? I think not.

the Babson administration has forgotten that were college students, no matter how you slice it. for anyone at Babson that has never spent a weekend at a large state ‘party’ school, I highly suggest it. you get to see what you’re missing out on and depriving yourself of. now, I am not suggesting by any means that ‘partying’ is all there is supposed to be in college. at any given moment theres a multitude of entertaining and fun things and events or locations that a student could attend to without feeling the need to be drunk off your ass at. we go to a school that’s cold and overcast, like at least 80% of the year.

Babson is small, private, cold, and rural: all of which adjectives statistically increase the amount of binge drinking per capita at a school. drink we do, but party we don’t. the other day, I was talking to a group of over 21′s that were ‘busted’ for having too much beer in one place at the one time. I cannot begin to explain how asinine the central source policy is. not only is the policy itself excruciatingly crippling to campus life, but even more painful is the fact that Babson is only one of a few colleges in the entire state of Massachusetts that actually enforces it. Babson students work hard and play harder, that’s a well recognized fact. however, I don’t believe that the ‘playing’ that is being done is of high quality. drinking is an excellent escape from reality, as well as an incredible way to de-stress – when theres nothing else to do.

last issue of the free press, I noticed that there were only 9 articles out of 21 total articles that pertained to Babson. the rest of the articles dealt with extraneous world conditions of no cultural importance.

how is the Babson free press perpetuating campus life? especially when less than 50% of the articles relate to Babson. articles about the new cafe near the library that serves overpriced coffee, and the excessively hyped bobble-head beaver FME business, do nothing but highlight the complete lack of campus life here at Babson. I am not criticizing the reporting skills of the Babson free press, merely that there is nothing else better or more interesting at Babson to report. Babson as a whole for being the single least entertaining campus in the entire free world.

Hi. I am proud to selfishly announce my self as a new writer on this blog. I have just as much passion towards hating this place as one could have. My contempt for Babson extends above and beyond anyones imagination and is manifested in various different types of “art crimes” that are seen from time to time on this campus.

Please enjoy my rants, as they are meant not only to be funny, hateful, stunning and down right lude, but to open your eyes onto this place and how we should all donate seventeen cents, each and everyone of us, to the “Sue the shit out of Babson” campaign. If every student at babson donated JUST 17 cents, thats how much it costs to start a lawsuit. so sit up, get mad, and put your fist in babson’s face.

That’s what we’re all about.

Stay tuned to this blog for updates on our project and news about what sucks at Babson right now. It’s gonna be good…
