Social Life Survey |
| Full-time MBA program |
INSEAD probably has the best social life of any MBA program. This is
especially true for well-off single people aged around 25. There are
several parties going on every night of the week (though you would have
to be a serious socialite to get invited to all of them!). I would guess
the average students goes to two or three parties a week.
Only about 25% of the students are female so this isn't the best place
for a guy to meet the girl of his dreams. It's not bad for girls however!
It seems like a few weddings result from meeting at INSEAD every year.
Most sports tastes are satisfied: Rugby, Soccer, Basketball, Track &
Field, Badmington, Cycling, Rock climbing, Poker... plus students tend to
create their own clubs as per their interests.
The food at INSEAD is apparently much better than Wharton. I'm not sure
if that's because INSEAD is particularly good or if Wharton is
particularly bad! As a vegetarian I would rate the cuisine as
'acceptable'. For non-vegetarians there are about 10 dishes to chose from
every day in Fontainebleau. The food in Singapore has more of an asian
accent and is apparently fantastic (I didn't go to Singapore).
INSEADs Fontainebleau campus has a small bar and people do tend to hang
out in it - but only if you don't mind cigarette smoke. There are lots of
restaurant and bars in Fontainebleau which INSEAD students frequent (and
are warmly welcomed with English menus!). Again, France doesn't have much
respect for non-smokers so be prepared!
