Duke Fuqua 1st year

Experience during the program

Pros - great student body, diversity, everyone knows how to balance school, recruiting, and a social life. Very tight student body and always something going on. Awesome alumni network and great career center. Good amount of electives and opportunities for experiential learning. Lots of leadership opportunities in the student-driven clubs.

Cons - pretty bad IT system - some terrible, outdated apps that need consolidation. Also, we shouldn't disclose grades similar to some other top programs. Finally, many of the extracurriculars/experiential activities have such high demand that there's a chance a student could lose out on an opportunity to someone who is just looking for a resume-builder.
