I may be in the minority but fuck having roommates, b school is social enough and I need my own space to recharge…

Sterling — you can meet ppl who live in 2116 and you’ll be invited to things anyway

Didn't go to Wharton, but I'd say that fun roommates > fun buildings for meeting people in MBA. Go with the social roommates--they are multipliers for friendships, even if you all have to trek a bit to meet others.

Especially in a program that big, it's great to have roommates who can help increase the number of people you meet!

Sterling isn’t nice enough for the price. I’d say 2116.

-18th & chestnut

Thanks, not concerned about price. Want to maximize my social experience, so Sterling is a less popular Wharton building but with two funs girls whereas 2116 Chestnut is the most popular Wharton building but would be with a more low key roommate. Thoughts?

If you want to maximize social experience just room with the more outgoing roommates

Sterling is ok. I would say do that if you want to have more fun, just based on your potential roommates situations.

But isn’t 2116 Chestnut also fun as a building? Like I’m thinking about the first month or so where you meet people mostly through your building, no?

It’s definitely a nicer building. I’m not in MBA so idk how making friends works there, but in all my adult life I have not made friends with my neighbors. I would expect to make friends in school through school activities lol.

Hey, I’m a Wharton admit but hasn’t started to search for roommates yet. How have you found yours??? Any tips would be super appreciated

Both are perfectly fun locations. Index more on the vibe that you want in your apartment. Would you rather have a fun place that hosts events or be able to retreat into your own place? Either way, you're no more than a several block walk from social events. No right answer, just pick whatever is more meaningful for you.

Super fun girls but how do you know you’ll enjoy living with them? Usually the loudest ppl are the dirtiest…

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

Hi All,

Recently got the opportunity to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a small regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact - we have a large product innovation, engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits for our client projects! Any tips?
