Oxford MBA and what next???: Week One

In a nutshell, I had a taste of what lies ahead. The schedules will be jam packed and its difficult to get your priorities right if you cant plan properly.

So, whats week 1?? hmm its a notation followed by Oxford. They break the year into 3 terms: Michaelmas, Hilary and Trinity. Michaelmas is the first term and it will be run during week 1 to week 8. week 9 is for revision and week 10 is for exams. And the same will repeat for the other 2 terms as well. So, this is what I called as the week one in the heading. So, theoritically completed 12.5% of the first term already!!!!

what was good?? The Decision Science lecture was the best so far with the professor being as cool as umpire billy bowden in his style. Having said this, other professors are also very cool and jovial in the class, which I havent expected with the degrees and the knowledge they have. After all they are teaching at Oxford!!! huh!!!

I have been to Hindu community meet and had some good free samosa, pani puri etc., Good break from the junk thing I am cooking daily.

And the important one for lot of people who are targetting SBS, the Careers. Contrary to the perception about the UK market and the oppurtinities that SBS provide, there is a hell lot of activity happening over here. Only thing every one is worried is its timing. You really need to be ready when you start here.

Week One activity in Careers:
Presentations by Lehmann Brothers, Bear Sterns and Barclays Capital in the business school.

Apart from the business school, a lot of activity happens in Oxford, thanks to the active Univ careers office. There have been presentations from Bain Consulting, Shell, Price waterhouse coopers, Newton Consulting, UBS this week. There is a big Consulting fair coming up this wednesday.

Not much of photos, as I am tied in the classes most of the time, but here are few. I promise I will get some cool ones with the MATRICULATION happening tomorrow.
