I had previously had every intention of making this a weekly thing, I was wrong! The MBA keeps me working 12-14 hour days and most of my week ends not, but I still intend to try!
How do I sum up the past month and a half!? I've experienced so much! I think I'll try and break it down into groups of topics rather than a chronological rendition of things.
Lets start with what I came here for in the first place- the MIP MBA. We are about 50 students in the class representing 19 different countries. There are 16 Italians students from all over Italy and the rest International. It is truly diverse with English being the first language for only a halndful.
We are a close group so far, and socialise in large numbers for birthdays and aperitivos*. We are also a very supportive group; students who are strong in some subjects offer and do tutor others who are weaker.
We have tons of group projects that take up a lot of time since it involves extensive discussions, but it is truly a good experience...so far. We have also had an outdoor excursion where we spent a week end in the mountains in a town called Bratto* for a fun and interesting two day/ one night team building event. It was by far the most fun experience for me thus far. We had physical and mental challenges during that week and we had the chance to get to know each other a bit better outside of the classroom.
The professors are...interesting. Our financial accounting professor, Davide (D-ah-vi-dey) Chiaroni is by far the best. I never thought I would actually look forward to attending a finance course, but I did! I will comment on some of the others perhaps later on, once the courses are done.
There are some other comments I could make about the MBA set up itself, but that will have to wait a while....for good reason, trust me.
