Aside from having little time outside of school, I am very happy with how student life is unfolding so far. B-school can be very stressful, as I'm sure a portion of my classmates can attest to. However, what does it for me at Anderson is the atmosphere. I'm surrounded by an energetic group of dynamic individuals who would, I feel, go out of their way to help out a fellow student. As if people have any spare time, I have classmates who constantly volunteer to help out fellow students who have questions on difficult subject matter or homework problems such as the tough Managerial Economics problem sets due each week.
Competition is virtually nonexistent, and people are extremely friendly and outgoing.
Also my section seems to be on a mission to have a good time. From the weekend parties and an all-school Halloween costume bash to the much needed Thursday night Beer Bust, there is ample opportunity to let loose. The concept of teamwork and an overall sense of wanting to have a good time is just one of many things I really enjoy about the Anderson lifestyle. As for my classes, I am more than impressed. Everything is done on the computer, which is a huge bonus.
