I have now completed the first of five terms at INSEAD. So far it has been exhilarating. In addition to the curriculum, there were so many people to meet and so many events and parties to attend. My days were jammed full of things to do from the moment I woke up to the moment I stumbled into bed late at night. INSEAD is demanding, especially considering that the contents of a two-year MBA program are crammed into one. But this is what I had been craving.

This term has been mostly about getting acquainted with my classmates, coming to grips with life in France, studying for the first time in four years, and enjoying the student lifestyle. It’s also been about exploring my dream job. Many go to business school with entrepreneurial ambitions and attempt to launch a startup at some point after graduation. I’m no exception. While everything I experienced was important, the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp stood out from the rest, making me grateful I enrolled at INSEAD.
