Why I chose a different Tetr program instead of Babson

r/

wanted to share my thinking in case anyone else is stuck choosing between the babson program and the other tetr options.

at first the idea of ending with a master’s sounded like a big win but once i looked into it more, it just didn’t feel like the value lined up with the cost. it’s not a stem program so the benefits in the US felt kinda limited and it’s just one year at babson, which makes it feel more an add-on than something you get to fully experience.

the other tracks go to more countries and offer way more time to actually build stuff and grow through the process.

not saying the master’s is useless or anything, but for me it didn’t feel worth the extra money or skipping part of the travel experience. went with one of the bachelor’s tracks instead and i feel a lot more at peace with that.

    I talked to a few people and they said they picked babson just because it’s in the US, but there’s more to a good program than the location.

    travel was a huge factor for me too. the babson track skips countries (argentina) i actually wanted to experience

    100% agree. I want to feel excited about babson but the more I research, the less I prefer it

    Honestly, it just depends on what matters most to you.
