I’ve been considering business school for a long time now. It’s been in the mix among other things, a cycling carrer, a masters in architecture, and business itsef… but I’ve always hesitated. Last fall while trying to narrow things down, Dane recommended that I look into Babson College, and I immediately had the impression that this school was different. They are all about innovation and entrepreneurship, they say. So I submitted an application and went to Boston to visit.
The idea of an “MBA” sort of turned me off. I pictured a bunch of booksmart kids in a room studying statistics and prepping themselves for a career at the bank. Babson’s not like that. The people I met were totally down to earth, full of real world experience and looking to build on it with a practical education. Most of the students I talked to had already run their own business. There’s even a class that collaborates with students from RISD to come up with solutions to bring their design ideas to market. Whaaaaaat you wont get that at Queens!
With the exception of Stanford, there is no other MBA program that I would really want to partake in. The people at Babson sold me on the school, and got me excited about the MBA aswell. This Wednesday I’m packin’ up my gear and moving east!
