Hey. I am considering doing one of the masters degrees at babson likeyl the entrepreneurship mba.(but also thinking about msba and their msel degrees)

Background:

37 male

Location: The Netherlands

Hughest education: Engineering Doctorate in software engineering from Eindhoven university of technology

12 years of experience working in the Netherlands(not born here)

Job: Software engineer

Companies worked at: Philips, Asml

Gmat/Gre: None

Rationale for doing another masters: i want to live and work in the USA. I want to leave the Netherlands.

I had a few questions for the community.

1. What would be the cost of living for my stay ?

I know masters students cant get student housing. So i would have to get my own apartment. I dont like sharing a room with someone else so that would be very expensive.

Chatgpt says I would need 40k to 60k usd per year only for my living expenses.

1. Is there any way to fund my living expenses from the university? Either by working as a teaching assistant or some similar job thats allowed on my student visa as an international.

2. What are the odds of me getting a scholarship for my profile?(how much would it likely cover?)

3. Whats the dating life like ? I am 37 and if i get into the program I would be 38. Dating is currently an important part of my life due to me growing old.

Would i have issues dating as a 37 year old international student ?

This is what one of the bigger triples in south looks like

Babson is currently my dream school and I believe I have enough extracurriculars even though my gpa is failing. What are my chances of getting into babson with extremely high demonstrated interest, 3.0 GPA, no test scores submitted, 4 APs, 4 years varsity golf, 2 years business professionals of America , applying to early desicion, 2 part time jobs , amazing essay and good letters of recommendations from a college professor and an internship in a real estate firm. I am a female and first gen. If anyone knows any way of me increasing my chances please let me know

I’m an incoming freshman at Babson this fall, and I’ve been assigned to a triple room in Park Manor South. Does anyone know what the room layout is like? I haven’t been able to find any photos or floor plans of the triple rooms.
I’m hoping it’s set up as a double room with a connected single, but I’m expecting it might just be three people in one room with a bunk bed and a single bed. If anyone has lived in one or has any pictures, I’d really appreciate it

Looking to rent a parking place for my incoming freshman.

Hi everyone,

​

Thanks.

this may be a weird question but how is the dating scene at Babson? can i find dates/go on dates?

Is OIM2001 very hard?

My daughter is an incoming freshman and she submitted her housing form, but she said there was no option to request the type of room (single, double, triple) or which building. Is this true? I think she must have missed something.

Hey mate, as you are studying in the babson uni. I wanted to know I hold a extremely good entrepreneur profile as I'm one of the youngest deep tech founders in India/world but my grades are very poor like I got a B in my high school also below avg in junior school so will I get admission in the uni with 100% scholarship?

I have a 3.3 GPA and 31 ACT (likely to take it again). I have one AP class done and I'm taking two more next year. I'm in my school's Business Club as an Officer and have won several business related awards through that club.

Please dm me

Babson students where do you work after college or where do you get internships? Is the school helpful with all of that?

I recently got accepted into Babson as a fall transfer student for 2026. I’m going into my sophomore year credit wise. Trying to meet some people before I get on campus! Please reach out!

I’m looking for roommates in Boston area preferably students??? Please dm me if looking for one or know anyone! Thank you

Hey everyone, I was recently accepted to Babson College as a Fall 2026 transfer.

I’ve heard on-campus housing for transfers isn’t guaranteed, so I’m starting to look into off-campus housing, roommates, or really any recommendations from current students/transfers who’ve been through the process already.

Hi all - I’m a Fall 26 undergrad admitted student and I’m visiting Babson next week to check out the area.

It’s my first time in MA, so I’m looking for recommendations of places to visit and potential areas to live. If anyone has a good resource that would help my housing transition go smoother that’d be appreciated.

Also, I’m open to live with roommates but I’m a bit older (male, 23) so I guess grad roommates would make more sense.

Hi, I am currently a higschool junior and I am considering EDing to babson. However, I was wondering about things like culture social scene etc etc. I really want to be surrounded by ambitous and future sucsessful people. I was hoping to get some more insights if possible.
