It is indeed a function of the kind of people that each school draws. For instance, based on my highly superficial interactions with people at MBA conferences and summer intern happy hours, I have the following to add to this topic:

a.) Just about every Tuckie I know is a raging alcoholic (and I mean that in a not so obviously literal, but complimentary way). Just about anyone who's ever been up for their Winter Carnival will also have some legendary stories to tell.

b.) Fun girls at Ross, too. The guys not so much.

c.) Speaking of which, does Darden even have any girls?

d.) Unexpectedly fun: Wharton MBAs. Unexpectedly unfun: UCLA MBAs.

No comment on Columbia or Northwestern folks, because my obvious biases will show.

Discuss.

/tongue in cheek


My best buddy this summer is from Ross.
UCLA is meh
Also met ppl from UT, UCSD and Notre Dame... also meh.
But then again, I have high and quirky standard. :D

on a side note:
Are the NYC ppl almost done? I still have a month to go but would love to catch up at say end of Aug

I am done next Friday. They are taking us to Montauk this weekend for final week celebration. Then I am off to Cape Cod for few days, then cruise to Bahamas for 4 days. Then New Haven for 2nd year. I can't believe I am gonna be almost done with MBA. Time flew by so fast. It feels like it was yesterday meeting you and the others for a drink, and pondering where we will be headed for bschool.

The most fun: Insead, LBS

If you're at an
American school, the fun usually follows the Latin American students.

I haven't figured out where there's the most fun yet. I hope it's at Fuqua, with the school sponsored weekly socials.

HOWEVER, I know Darden is probably the least fun bschool. Unless you consider 20 cases/week fun.

Why are they taking you to Richard Montauk AFTER you've already been admitted to business school. And how is spending more time with him even remotely a celebration?

fatb, I won't be done until the 20th but let me know if you're in town. I tried to e-mail you a few weeks ago but your Cornell e-mail bounced!

I'm also done on the 20th, but unless I can convince the company to let me stay in corporate housing for an extra week I'm going to have to get back to Chicago that weekend.

of course...but overall the impression i get of IIMs is that they are obsessed with test scores..cat or gmat...and there isnt any focus on leadership...its mostly academics and grades...but then its just my opinion... :wink:

Don't be ridiculous. Stereotyping is brilliant and great fun. Indian killjoys just don't understand that.

If stereotypes are taken in light humor like most here use them, it is a lot of fun. I enjoy creating stereotypes a lot.
