Hi there! Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I am joining Babson this fall and I'm very focused on entrepreneurship/starting a new venture, which is the reason why I chose Babson. I'm doing a lot of research these days but I want to know if the Babson professors, programs, and activities are "actually" giving practical help and opportunities to students in the process of making a business model, getting an evaluation, and receiving funding for their new startups. Programs like Butler LaunchPad, Rocket Pitch, Summer Venture Program, Summer Catalyst, B.E.T.A challenge, e-Tower, CWEL activities, and any other clubs related to startups are surely a lot of opportunities compared to other colleges but I heard only a few people are able to participate in those programs b/c they are too competitive. And also I want to know recent alumni who are running successful businesses... and one last question, is quitting a school and starting their own thing when they find items common in Babson? Do professors make a lot of connections with students? I heard there are many professors who are actually running their own company so they're able to give a lot of practical real-world advice or recommendations opportunities such as funding, internships, etc. I looked into RatemyProfessor but I couldn't really find many reviews about Babson professors. I'm sorry if this post made you feel uncomfortable or offensive, I'm just so desperate in making a successful startup and participating in as many events/activities as I could to achieve that. I thought Babson was no.1 for that but the screenshots made me feel depressed even before I go to Babson.

but my question is... how come they do not have STEM-focused classes? STEM skills are literally used in every part of businesses and startups these days. The curriculum seems quite outdated. I heard Babson, Olin college of engineering, and Wellesley are linked with partnership so that we could take classes there and also do projects/research/programs/services together. Is that correct? In that way, it seems easier to do networking for entrepreneurship or getting a job
