FROM Fisher Grad Life: There’s No Place Like Home |
One important part of my journey to Ohio State was finding housing, especially as someone totally new to Columbus. Moving to a city when you aren’t familiar with the area can be a challenge, but there are a ton of options near campus that can suit pretty much any preference or budget. Columbus overall … Continue reading "There’s No Place Like Home" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Advice from SMF international students on your application |
Since our application is now live, I gathered some advice from current SMF students. Since majority of the students are international, I tried getting a student from every country represented in our class. Here’s the advice they wished they were told as prospective students : Ruozhao (Adelia) Chen, Chile Reach out to the Graduate Program … Continue reading "Advice from SMF international students on your application" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: My First Game in The Shoe |
Last weekend, I got to experience my first-ever Ohio State Buckeye home game in the Horseshoe. Ohio State squared off against Miami (OH), and after a close first quarter, it was a constant celebration all afternoon as Ohio State won by a score of 76-5. Together with my parents, my little brother, and some family … Continue reading "My First Game in The Shoe" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Lighting up the Scioto River at the Water Lantern Festival |
A big perk of going to Ohio State is its location – for those of you that don’t know OSU is located in the heart of Columbus. With that being said, there is always an event in the area, whether it is some sort of cultural or food festival or a concert. This past weekend … Continue reading "Lighting up the Scioto River at the Water Lantern Festival" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: The life of an SMF Graduate student |
After finishing my undergraduate studies, I was very excited to see how drastically my life would change going through the Specialized Master in Finance program (SMF). Today, I can confidently tell you this: there’s not a day goes by where you don’t have something to work on. During our first session of the Autumn Semester, we … Continue reading "The life of an SMF Graduate student" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: An inside look at the case studies in my electives |
For the first term of autumn, I currently have two required classes and two electives. Little did I know how many cases I have to deal with every week when selecting my electives for this term. However, I’m very happy I chose these classes and want to give you a brief overview of what are … Continue reading "An inside look at the case studies in my electives" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Surviving the Pre-MAcc Seminar |
One unique experience I had as a part of my Ohio State MAcc is participating in the Pre-MAcc seminar. This is a two-week crash course in more advanced accounting concepts for incoming students who didn’t take Intermediate Accounting I and II in their undergrad career. Either taking these classes in undergrad or participating in this … Continue reading "Surviving the Pre-MAcc Seminar" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Much Needed Break |
Session 1 of Autumn semester is over! I can’t believe it’s been over 2 months since the first day of our SMF pre-term. We finished our finals last on Oct 9 and then got the rest of the week off as fall break. This was our first “actual” break since the start of the program, … Continue reading "Much Needed Break" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Making the most of your days as a grad student |
From my previous blog post, I made it seem that the life of an SMF student is just hours and hours of studying and group projects in the Bloomberg Lab. Fortunately, there are many events around Columbus that give us the opportunities to “break free” and enjoy our days to the fullest. On October 13, … Continue reading "Making the most of your days as a grad student" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Great Day to See Ryan Day |
As I’ve mentioned in previous blog posts, I’m currently enrolled in one of the MAcc‘s elective courses, Business of College Sports. I highly recommend anyone with a particular interest in athletics to take this course, as it’s been extremely enlightening to see how a college athletic department operates in terms of budgetary constraints, recruiting, donors, … Continue reading "Great Day to See Ryan Day" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Finals Survival Tips |
Following our mid-semester exams last week, I thought I would share my graduate study tips. It is important to note that preparing for each exam can be different depending on the class but here is how I typically approach studying. Not every professor will provide a study guide for the exam so do your … Continue reading "Finals Survival Tips" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Undergraduate vs Graduate Accounting Recruitment and Tips |
Fall break marks the end of our first session of Fall semester, as well as the end of recruitment season for many MAcc students who are very excited to be done with the process. Though I didn’t go through the process as I did it during my undergraduate program, I recognized some differences between the … Continue reading "Undergraduate vs Graduate Accounting Recruitment and Tips" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: A quarter of the way done… |
The conclusion of fall break officially marks a quarter of the MAcc program complete. It’s crazy to think the program is already 25% done when it feels like we were just at orientation getting to know each other yesterday. A unique aspect of our MAcc program here at Ohio State is that all of the … Continue reading "A quarter of the way done…" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: 3 Months as an MBLEr |
We are now standing in the halfway of a semester. Looking back at the memories we made, I found countless sparkling moments. MBLEr is a noun created by me, which includes every student in this program. Once an MBLEr, forever an MBLEr! There are several highlights I would like to share with you here. This is … Continue reading "3 Months as an MBLEr" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Registering for spring semester in the Fisher MAcc program |
As the leaves begin to turn a different color here at Fisher, it’s already time for many of the MAcc students to turn their attention towards spring classes. I registered Thursday, October 29, and this process was much different than registering for classes in the fall. During the spring semester of the MAcc program, students … Continue reading "Registering for spring semester in the Fisher MAcc program" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Teamwork! |
The SMF program has a pre-term and seven core courses in the autumn semester. At the beginning of pre-term, we were assigned teams that we would be working with, for the pre-term and all the core courses! We were put in teams on the basis of a variety of factors like academic background, work experience, … Continue reading "Teamwork!" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Tackling Evening Classes as a MAcc Student |
This semester I have one evening class, Advanced Topic in Accounting, that starts at 6:15pm and ends at 9:30pm every Wednesday. Most MAcc classes are offered during the day, with a few elective options that are offered at night, so these classes are not common for MAcc students. Since I also have my required classes … Continue reading "Tackling Evening Classes as a MAcc Student" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: Class of 2014 Gives Back |
Over the summer a MHRM alumnus contacted the program about planning a five year reunion for the MHRM Class of 2014 and incorporating that into a networking opportunity for our current students. The MHRM council jumped at the chance to welcome back fellow MHRMs and coordinate the event. With support from the Career Management Office, Alumni … Continue reading "Class of 2014 Gives Back" |
FROM Fisher Grad Life: There’s More to Recruitment Than Free Water Bottles |
As you can see above, recruitment provides a ton of opportunities for free swag at every event and tabling session.
