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!

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.

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…)

was on campus one Saturday night as part of our “Spring Weekend” (a few weeks ago.)  I was quite pleased with the performance. (If I had to choose the top two fun Babson events, I’d say comedians and the BDE performances. If I was allowed to choose three fun events, well, it might take me a while to think of a third…)

So yes, one good thing about Babson on here.

But what I wanted to mention is one of Kyle’s jokes on college life. It went something like this…

Colleges tell you not to drink, do drugs, or have sex. Then they put the college in some random town that’s not near anything… What do they expect? “What should I do tonight? My choices are Wal-Mart, or Susie…”

Yeah, that reminded me of Babson. What’s worse is that there isn’t even a Wal-Mart in Wellesley to go screw around in. So it looks like drinking, smoking, doing drugs, having sex, and all that good stuff is it…

As you probably read in an earlier entry, there was a funny comment on our myspace page from a grad student who is missing out on all the fun ugrad activities.

I also want to let you in on a nice message I received from an alum who likes Babson:

First off I want to applaud you for your entrepreneurial spririt. You can “Crap” on Babson all you want, however, it has given you the tools to create your little business. Also, as a proud Alum I would tell you that I did NOT go to Babson to have fun (although I had more than enough). I chose Babson because of its strong academic/real world experience core to help prepare me for the rigors of the real cut throat business world. It did exactly that and I would challenge you to focus your energy on those individuals who have obtained a complete tool box of methodologies, principals and insights into how to achieve success in business and in life.

Although I do appreciate your efforts and the spirit that is behind them, I cannot accept your invitation to be your friend. Opinions are exactly that and I will not have my name attached to Babson in any other way than that which sheds a positive light and exemplifies the prestige of the school. I feel your intentions are to discredit not only Babson, but the institution of higher education portraying to potential students that College in about having fun and not preparing for the future.

And I responded, of course…
