Kellogg student here. I know getting my MBA right now is worth it and I wouldn’t change it, but I am just not having fun. This experience sucks way more than I expected.

Starting there in the fall, so it hurts to hear. Are people still doing things in person or is everyone just classing, studying, recruiting, and group working all via zoom from home? I thought Kellogg was doing virtual classes which I assume bring people to the hub?

Yeah the way it works is basically 1 day virtual then 1 day at the Hub. It just sucks because they started the semester with a 2 week quarantine for everyone so right now everything is virtual and we aren’t technically allowed to meet up.

Even when we are off quarantine there still isn’t a ton going on, especially cause all restaurants are closed here. You should be excited to come - and again it is worth it - it’s just a shitty experience at this moment.

For what it’s worth I will be surprised if next fall is not fully in person. We have heard no guidance or anything, but that is what I am expecting.

Not at Kellogg but I can empathize with this. Been really struggling since after Halloween when everything basically shut down. Spending almost all of my time in my apartment these days 😔

Damn, I’m incoming Kellogg so I hope things improve.
