I spent two amazing years at Tuck and have found both the in-school experience and alumni body exactly as described when I first considered the school.
First, Tuck is a special place both for its beautiful location in Hanover, NH and for its world-renowned professors who commit to teaching and research. Granted, the location is not for everyone, but when it comes to recruiting it makes little difference. From the first week, we were consistently bombarded with recruiters from all the top consulting, finance, and tech firms in the country. The strength and reputation of any business school can be judged on this measure.
Second, the student body is limited to about 280 in each class. It makes for a more intimate learning environment, and frankly everyone gets to know each other over the course of two years. And how this translates to the classroom, and by extension the working world, is how well Tuck students work in teams and excel in collaboration.
Coming out of Tuck, I left with a toolkit of skills and experiences I could not have gotten had I not gone to business school.
