Housing
From traditional residence halls to suite-style accommodations, the undergraduate housing options at Babson range in layout, but all offer a safe, comfortable, supportive, and engaging community ready to help fuel your personal growth and academic success.
It’s not your average college dorm room situation in our residence halls. And, arguably more important than where you live is whom you live with. Our Living and Learning Communities allow you to live alongside others who share a similar interest or passion, allowing you to build on your academic experience outside the classroom.
Dining
At Babson, dining is more than a meal, it is a part of how you live, learn, and thrive.
Whether you are fueling up before class, grabbing a bite after practice, or catching up with friends over dinner, our dining program is built for flexibility, flavor, and wellness. With chef-crafted meals, mobile customization, and inclusive options across campus, Babson Dining is made for the way you live.
Dining locations include: Trim Dining Hall, Reynolds Campus Center, Roger’s Pub & Grille, Herring Family Entrepreneurial Leadership Village, Babson Commons, and Olin Hall.
Student Spaces
Reynolds Campus Center: You could say life at Babson orbits around Reynolds. The Donald W. Reynolds Campus Center is home to the Campus Store, Sustainability Office, Student Government Association (SGA), and Campus Activities Board (CAB) offices, mail services, Crossroads Cafe, ATMs, and Dunkin’ Donuts (if you’re a regular, the staff are likely to remember you and your drink order!).
We like to think of it as the (giant) campus living room, especially in the Global Lounge, where you can hang out or study for classes. You also can access free printers and borrow outdoor lawn games and board games.
The Weissman Foundry: A space for Babson, F.W. Olin College of Engineering, and Wellesley College students to create and collaborate, the Foundry is home to a woodshop, digital fabrication studio, printing studio, and a textile and electronics studio. This is where you can prototype a product or use studio space or the social kitchen to collaborate on your next big idea. You also can attend workshops to learn new skills like needle punching or 3D-printing chocolate.
Horn Library & Babson Commons: More than just a study space, Babson Commons at Horn Library has collaborative work spaces, information gathering areas, and a cafe for refueling. The entire third floor of the library is reserved for quiet study.
You’ll also find the Math Resource Center, Writing Center, and Speech Center, all available to help you prep for exams, improve your communication skills, and more. You also can book one-on-one appointments or join group-study sessions with peer tutors who can help you with key courses like microeconomics and operations management.
Len Green Recreation and Athletics Complex: Get your sweat on. Open 94+ hours per week during the academic year, the Len Green Recreation and Athletics Complex houses the Lunder Fitness Center with cardiovascular machines and free weights, a 200-meter indoor track, and squash and racquetball courts. Plus, as a student, you have free access to exercise, dance, and martial arts classes and more.
It is also is home to Staake Gymnasium with two full basketball courts, Morse Swimming Center with a six-lane, 25-yard pool (with free swim hours!), and PepsiCo Pavilion with four basketball hoops, retractable batting cage, and inserts for tennis nets. However you want to work out, you’ll find what you need to do it.
Kerry Murphy Healey Park: There are a lot of hidden gems on the Babson campus but arguably none as fascinating as the giant Babson World Globe. At 28-feet wide, the rotating earth is surrounded by 100 flags representing the countries of Babson students. Get ready to have a bajillion photos of this on your camera roll; it looks equally iconic covered in autumn leaves and snow as it does surrounded by flowers and sunshine.
