Its been 3 weeks at HBS and I have the following updates. Due to lack of time, I am going to simply list them and go over the details hopefully later-
1. I am in Section A (Go A!) and last week we had a hand off roast by the EC students of old A (as the last years Section is called). They managed to get quite a lot of info about us from facebook etc and some of my section mates were badly roasted. Overall it was fun though and I enjoyed it.
2. I have the following subjects in Term 1- Leadership and organizational behavior , Technology and operations management, Finance 1, Accounting and Marketing.
3. The enthusiasm of the professors here is really contagious. Sometimes their sheer presence in the classroom is enough to get everyone interested.
4. I have joined a total of 5 clubs. I hope I will be able to do justice to all of them.
5. The career development office has already started sending us feelers about resumes and companies and recruiting policies and the general trend due to the bad economy etc.
6. I was wary of typical HBS students being very aggressive and bar hopping every day and while there are students like that who get all the press here, there is also a vast majority of students who have varied interests and I enjoy talking to all these people over lunch and dinner.
7. We are on our section retreat this weekend. Its a 3 hour drive to a place called jiminy creek and almost the whole of our section is going. It should be fun.
