It's quite sad really. As an undergrad all I could think about was escaping from school after years of exams, $0.89 Taco Bell Burritos, and dorm furniture. But upon returning to business school I realized how great students have it - especially Cornell MBAs. The subject variety, intellectual challenge, and afternoon naps are well worth the $40,000 a year tuition.
Looking back I have been super content with my attending Cornell. My above expectation list includes:
Career Management Center - This group knows each of the students and how to get them a job. They are amazing!
The Collegial Atmosphere - You'll definitely feel back at school. The fall leaves, the beautiful campus, the marching band, and the eclectic events that accompany college campuses.
The Friendly Students - Single, married, International, and more. Everyone is in the same boat here and we enjoy each others company. Big plus to the student activities center - we have 3 fulltime employees who help run student events.
Below expectations:
Entrepreneurship - I was really hoping for an integrated entrepreneurship society at Cornell, help finding an idea, and advice on writing a business plan. when I didn't see that this was fully in place at school I became an officer in the Entrepreneurship Club and am trying to make some updates to the program.
