<p>what schools has the most catered well funded MBA facilities out of top programs like Northwestern, Harvard, Yale, Berkely ect.?</p>
<p>i mean even though some are ranked high i’ve noticed some programs have some very cool amenities, such as personalized grad dorms, and very well funded business facilities over the other.</p>
<p>If you want to talk about straight-up and well-catered funding, especially dorms, then it is HBS without a doubt. HBS has its own huge dorm complex, that is open only to HBS students. HBS has its own gym, which is arguably the best gym at all of Harvard, and it is open only to HBS students. There is no doubt that HBS has far more money than all other B-schools.</p>
<p>But I don’t think that that should be the sole criterion for choosing a B-school. You don’t choose an undergrad school just because it has nicer dorms than everybody else. So why would you do that for B-school? You should choose a B-school based on a number of criteria. The fact is, you are in B-school for only 2 years. So you shouldn’t really be choosing a B-school just because you will have a nice dorm for 2 years, you should choose the B-school based on what you can do with the degree from there. HBS is not for everyone. Many HBS students complain about the harsh culture of HBS (essentially, if you don’t have a strong-willed and aggressive personality, you will get run over). HBS is also weak at various business specialties, most notably technology. </p>
<p>The point is that there is no perfect B-school. The funding of the dorms and amenities is only one thing you should consider. You have to pick a B-school that is right for you.</p>
<p>not that i ever i said that was the only thing i was considering, so i’m not sure where you discerned the need to lecture me about it. I simply asked a question, but you did at least answer it, thank you.</p>
<p>i’m just curious about it in the case of a tiebreaker or somesuch, it’s definetly good for that, i already know generally the places i’d like to apply to, each with their own merits, but very equivicable ones mind you.</p>
<p>Suffice it to say that there are a lot of people here on CC who have indicated they will make academic decisions based on superficial criteria, and my attitude is that you can’t be too careful about these kinds of things.</p>
<p>well, granted i only want the best for me, i am not one of those people.</p>
<p>as a matter of fact Northwestern became my No.1 choice after i first visited it for my undergrad but that was long before i knew that it was as prestigious as it was, i had fallen in love with it anyway.</p>
<p>and i tried and remained objective when looking at the ivy leagues but i couldnt help but notice certain ones i liked and certain ones i did not (i for instance would not ever consider Upenn, despite it’s near #1 ranking for MBA programs and other things).</p>
<p>i ws just asking an ernest question about facilities, i still am curious you know.</p>
<p>Well, I should point out that undergrad and grad are entirely separate things. Just because a school may have a great (or poor) undergrad culture does not mean that the same is true for grad. The fact is, as a graduate student, your interaction with the undergraduate program and with the undergraduate student body is going to be limited at best.</p>
<p>i looked at the whole school, not just the social interactions of the undergrad community, and i know its graduate programs (least the business, Journalism and film ones) are top notch.</p>
<p>I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but I still maintain you are going about it the wrong way. You should be trying to narrow down what graduate field you want to get into, and then you can start looking at schools that are strong in those fields. I fear that you feel that you just want to go to NW for graduate school, but you don’t really know and don’t care in what field. That’s a dangerous road to go on. Graduate school is not like UG, there is no time nor space to go and ‘find yourself’.</p>
<p>thats where your wrong, i do care what i study, but i wont let that automatically deter me from going to a school i really like, unless they dont offer it, or have a “very” poor program for it, which with a schooll as good as NW ect. is unlikely. and as far as things go now, i do know i would like to earn an MBA, so the schools i have chosen fit fine for that.</p>
<p>I will never study a field that is utterly useless or uninteresting to me just to go to a certain school, it will have to be something i find interest in. I hope that satsifies you.</p>
<p>Look, I’m not interested in playing a game of 20 questions here. You say that you know what interests you. Then why don’t you tell us what that is? The more you tell us, the more precise answers we can give you. However, if you refuse to tell us what is going on, you should expect to get bad answers. </p>
<p>Some schools are very good for the MBA but not so good at other things, and other schools are vice versa. But until you know what you want, you don’t know what schools to choose. If you know what you want, but just don’t want to tell us, then that’s a whole different story.</p>
<p>i dont want to play 20 questions either, but i think i’ve got an idea now anyhow, so your “help” is no longer required.</p>
<p>Happy to help with your “questions”.</p>
