After Year 1 at the Stanford GSB

Experience during the program

I am continuously blown away by the caliber of students at the GSB. The student body is incredibly diverse, thoughtful, well-spoken, and down to earth. Getting to know and learn from my fellow students has been the most enlightening and inspirational component of the GSB student thus far.

The community for the MBA1s on campus creates a collaborative and social environment (esp. Highland/Schwab buildings). All of the facilities on campus are over-the-top nice.

The professors and classes have been excellent. Professors are well-prepared and most-classes are discussion-based, providing the chance to learn from others. There is some rigidity to the curriculum during the first year and the class scheduling process could use some improvement, but I think the administration is working on those details. The quarter system is great for providing more flexibility to your schedule and allowing you to explore more areas of interest.
