First impressions of the 海角社区 MBA
海角社区 was rated as the number one university in Canada by QS. I am very happy to hear that because I am studying at 海角社区 for my MBA. Since my arrival here on campus in August, I have been more than impressed by the services and the facilities here.
When I first arrived at the lobby, I was greeted by a very nice "Desautels School of Management" sign. The sign looks nice, but what was more impressive was the space and environment designed for students to study and discuss. The MBA students here get access to the MBA computer labs, lounges, conference rooms, meeting rooms, all with extra comfortable chairs. Having been in Japan for nine years, where typical single apartments are 15 square meters, being in the Bronfman building is basically like being in a castle for me.
Certainly, I am convinced that there are good reasons behind the QS ratings and am very encouraged by it. However, as Zoe Yujnovich, CEO and President of Iron Ore Company of Canada, has said when she came to talk to our class, we need to maintain a track record in order to maintain our job. An MBA might help us get our foot in a door, but how we perform later on is going to matter more...
