Hi Guys..I am doing my MBA in Hult SF 2012 and wanted to share some facts and info so that you can make the wise decision and not get fooled by Hult aggressive marketing..
1. LECTURES; Hult does not have any permanent lectures. All are from outside like Berkley or other companies on consultant basis. Faculty reputation and bio are very good. some have very good contacts with the companies,,few are not effective in terms of teaching... As all faculty from outside, the class timings are set according to their convenience so u have strange timings.
2. Infrastructure: As you know from the pictures , the college has only just one building with three floors ...unfortunately it has to accommodate around 400-450 students :)) but need not necessary all of them at a time..we have only four class rooms..no library..there are meetings rooms but they are not sufficient as u need to book in advance and well u can also understand from our campus strength..there are only 2 places available for the study rooms..overall infrastructure is not up to the mark considering the student strength...
3. Students Profile: Well one interesting things there are lot of entrepreneurs in our batch, some with good profile. in terms of selection, there is comprise in selecting quality students..one more big problem is size of the batch(155)...i feel there should be less students considering our infrastructure and more diversity... ,
4. Student Services: they are good and friendly in nature..conduct few parties and events..
5. Student Clubs: they are lot of clubs including at cultural level too like Chinese club..lot of club meetings and events would be going on with high profile guest speakers..so this is one of the major advantage as you can gain information and insights..u will knw watz going on different areas...
6. Academic: the teaching model in Hult is concentrated mainly on Team work and dynamics.this type of education model is very good in future and also required for global business school..knowing students from different countries and working with them would be good experience as it wud be useful in future when you are dealing globally..
7. Career service..well as campus just started,,so the brand awareness is still not up to the mark,,but we students and clubs are trying hard to spread the brand as much as possible..career services are trying their level best but no results till now...no big companies have visited our campus for placements or internship..so overall this area is not effective,,they are even conducting company visits to attract them..one more challenging and main point is current job market and work permit..well it is progressing better but still not that great..many companies are not willing to sponsor work permit as companies are adopting govt regulations..so if you have permit thats great or else it is really hard..even the academic and management are pushing hard to get the companies thats wat i feel ..
8,. City..its lovely,,lots of places to visit ,,cold almost all the time,.,lots of networking events going on,,,nice place for food and restaurants..as Silicon valley is near by,,there are lot of events happening in tech,bio tech and other startups.. u end up meeting CEOs and CTO in networking events..great place to explore industries..last and imp cost of living is bit expensive
^Thanks for the information. My advice to you is to keep trying hard to find a job. In one year programs it much harder to get jobs before graduation.
Can you please share your profile (gmat etc)?
Have the US Citizens been able to secure any jobs as of yet? What type of salary is expected?
