Most graduate students download the Boost Mobile App to purchase food at Olin Café (in Olin Hall). The cafe offers stations with a variety of different food options and is where graduate students gather and eat most of their meals. If you want to purchase a Trim Dining Hall meal plan, you’re welcome to, but it’s not required.
Dining facilities include: Trim Dining Hall, Reynolds Campus Center, Roger’s Pub & Grille, Centennial Café, and Olin Café.
Student Spaces
Reynolds Campus Center: 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 dining options.
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.
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. Get help with research or check out our in-depth career guides. Access academic papers, professional periodicals like The New York Times and Forbes, and books published in every subject area. Reserve a group study room, classroom, connect with other students on the first and second floors, or enjoy the peace and quiet of the “quiet study” space on the third floor.
Len Green Recreation and Athletics Complex: 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.
