Harvard Business School

Fantastic venue for conferences, we joined an engaging networking event. Staff and services are what you’d expect from Harvard, and the catering exceeded expectations. Wonderful!

Intelligent and engaging student body and faculty.
Beautiful campus, and probably the largest business school campus around.
Under-​visited compared to the other side of the river, so crowd-​free picture ops are always available.
A bit of a commercial desert, but construction has recently kicked off to build a new residential and commercial center.
Nowhere else in Boston will you find rabbits roaming around the grounds — even in the dead of winter.

Harvard business school.

I am in high school, but I was fortunate enough to sit on a class at Harvard. I had an actual headache by the end, but if you ever get the chance, do it. The students were from all around the globe, from London to Sydney to Los Angeles to Dubai. And even better, all were very nice. Their intelligence was obviously amazing to see while there were in-​class discussions.
The professors I walked by were so nice to me and asked about my goals and ambitions for college life. They offered me food, offered us suggestions while on campus, and we went on our way.
It’s a giant lay out. The buildings have a New England taste, and Harvard (don’t think it’s the business school) itself even has housing on the other side of the Charles River. Must see: some of the nicest people in the world!

The business school is sort of the plasticine reflection of the main campus, and there’s a reason why it’s kept on the other side of the river. Enough said.

Executive Leadership Program is fascinating. Wonderful faculty for this program.

Beautiful campus, lively talented discussion.

What a beautiful campus. Try living here during the summer… DEAD EMPTY! Bustling in the winter.

Come and check the library or some classes and check what the minds of the up and coming leaders are doing.
The campus is gorgeous in the spring and summer, too.

This is definitely taking Unilocal to a new level. Not exactly US News and World Report, but here is my take after almost 21 months attending HBS. By no means is this an official report and only represents my sole opinion and experience. To be fair, this review wouldnt be happening without my Competing Through Social Networks class.
Pros:
— Amazingly diverse classes. 90 people from ridiculous backgrounds ranging from Military to Education to Consulting to Tech to Finance to Startups all getting together in the same room to discuss the most relevant business issues and taking lessons away to apply to their own experiences.
— Superior faculty and facilities. I continue to be amazed by the resources at my disposal at this school. From involved, briliiant faculty to great resources like Shad Fitness Center and Spangler Food Court, this place looks like you would expect HBS to look like.
— Case Method Instruction. Where the faculty acts as a discussion facilitator and the students shape the learnings and provide the insight. So much more interactive than the traditional lecture at the board model of my undergrad.
— Career Development. I came from a non-​traditional business background and have found this school to be a great launching pad to a career in another industry. The brand and education give you great credibility in the job market going forward.
CONS:
— Gigantic overall class size. Even though the sections have only 90 people, my class has 900 and i certainly dont know everyone which is kind of sad.
— Boston weather. The single biggest differentiator from certain west coast schools that rhyme with Shmamford.
There are many, many factors that go into picking a grad school and ultimately it has to be the right fit FOR YOU. For me, this was 100% the best fit and I don’t regret the decision at all! I only give it four stars for the few cons I listed above, but I think on a relative scale, it should be considered right at the top comparable to peer schools and for the quality of educational experience it provides
