Great Experienxe at yale SOM - European student

Experience during the program

The community at Yale SOM is simply amazing. You get to meet people from all over the world and the pool of students is very diverse. In addition to being diverse, everyone has stellar academics and past professional experiences. A truly amazing setting to grow and learn over 2 years.

Whether it is during recruiting or exam season, everyone is helping each other and as a far as I know everyone got the job they wanted from the MBA. It opened me doors to work in top consulting and tech firms in the US during my internship and after graduation. This was one of my main goal coming from Europe.

The fact that SOM is embedded in the greater Yale also helps to expand your learning reach. You can take classes at the law school or any other school on campus.

Finally, New Haven is not New York or Boston but has its benefits. You get to spend a ton of time with your classmates and create deep relationships (since yale is pretty much everything that exists in new haven). It also saves you on expenses since food and rent are much cheaper than in a larger US city.
