A true example of the adage 'persistence pays.'

If they have Chinese, maybe they should have 'sub-continental' food too. Maybe you can work out a weekly menu!

All in all, I guess it worked out great for you. You probably don't need anyone to remind you this but 'make the best of those two years'. All the best.

this is d thread i hv been looking for.& since its from our very own pg, been waiting for too- life @w.
the problem with blogs or other similar threads is they start it with bang but later get ct up with their ultra-busy-b-skul-life. so couldnt feed us more in their period of hardcore studying after Sept....
hope u note this point.

And that too mostly with your back or your profile... My Loss

Well... good to see that you're enjoying your life @ Upenn... Fly the Flag of PG High!!!

Hey PG,

cool thread..cool post...

Could u give us some information about the average number of years of work-ex required and the kind of work-ex your batch has?

**pagalguy**

Mate, that is so true! Its going to be tough to find stuff interesting for you guys through any extended period of time. I dont want to start blabbering about my personal stuff here - but more about my experience and thoughts about this school.

So I dont really know if this thread will last two years, or even a year ..but I will try

The kind of work ex is extremely varied, and the average age of entry is 29 and the avg. no of years of work ex is 6. But that is what it is, just the numbers. They arent too indicative and need to taken with a pinch of salt as they are just the averages and people reside on either side of the numbers.

nice one dood ... great read man . Have you met / spoken to other entrepreneurs on campus , how are you going to shape the progress over this yr & the next one considering the vast choices of subjects ... is it like taking up what sounds intresting & useful or a collective inputs from the class as to choices ... group studies , classes ? i hope i made sense

PS : MBA student sleeping a lot , sacrilege ... How come you are not shouting nightouts , 2 - 3 hr dozes per day etc , im sure you must be making it up in some classs or the other

I can give the people of PG what they want , video of PG dancing ... bole to upload karun
