im kinda lookin at bentley, so i'd like to know as well, but i've heard that the babson social scene sucks. and its way too business oriented, but i guess if that;s deffinetly what you want, it's good
my sister went to bates....basically the town absoultely sucks, it's extremely liberal and very laid back. The academics are obviously very good. I'm not sure about colby tho
