I'm doing the pre-mba trips that GSB runs (as do most schools) - I havent decided where yet - probably teh galapagos. I dont think I'll take part in most of the other winter trips - just because I'd rather go scuba diving than tooling about with students or something, but I do plan on still taking vacations. I'll probably do one before my 2nd year starts and one when I graduate.

I think the one before school starts is worth doing - you'll meet so many people and make so many connections.

I believe that some trips are included in the tuition costs, maybe I'm wrong. I seem to recall that Michigan's MAP program is included in the tuition cost (7 week program). I think that Wharton's is as well. Just too d@mn much data to sort through at this point. If I'm accepted to any schools, I look into it then.

I recently read up on this. The MAP travel costs and accomodations/food are paid for by the sponsoring company. But KWEST - Kellogg's pre-school trip comes out of students' pockets.

I don't know if I could participate to those trips. I really love traveling to Europe and can manage to have some money (such as look for a rich wife), but since I'm an international student, my student visa has expired, so that I can not leave the U.S (actually I can leave, but if I want to enter again, I have to come back to my original country to apply for visa again)

Wouldn't your VISA get renewed in the US?

I didn't get the impression that most of the for-credit trips were open to significant others. Although if it were an entire semester exchange I couldn't see them objecting.

Generally speaking no - the trips are for students. GSB however does have a trip specifically set up for couples. I imagine some of the other schools do too.

I tried posting a picture of Klosterman but I guess it didn't work, try this link (if it doesn't work you can just use google image search):

Just blonde hair and glasses I guess. Is that you in the picture? What does the license plate mean? (Again I'm like the old man trying to understand why his grandkids are saying "Don't have a cow man.")
