As a graduate student, you are constantly asked to fill out surveys. But most of these don’t get past GMAT scores, GPAs, or job offer details. What readers of this blog probably really want to know is: What does the personal or social life of a student look like? Do most people use a Mac or a PC? What is your favorite bar?

Pingback: Student Survey Results: Mod 1, 2011 | OwenBloggers: Life as an MBA student at Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate School
not very intuitive, but very comprehensive, a full investigation.
The title of this post totally confused me. I thought there would be more pictures.
Corp Val is brutal – but SOOOO helpful. I recommend for all students – not just finance concentrators.
You should ask: 1)Which Web Browser people prefer 2) How people commute to school 3) Least and most favorite class period time.
I would also include how many cups of coffee do you drink per day/week….
