Even though the program is large, I have never felt like a number. From the teacher's interest in their students to the career services office pushing for every one to succeed. I have always felt like the resources are there for me and that they are catered to my needs instead of the masses'.

Almost every business program I took was better than expected. However, I have not felt that there has not been much emphasis on business ethics and responsibility especially in this economic crisis where many CEOs behaved unethically and irresponsibly.

Despite its large size, it is very integrated. We are constantly informed of events on campus, usually sponsored by prestigious firms. I don't feel like I am just taking business courses. Instead, I feel like I am part of a program that is completely focused on preparing me for the real world. The quality of professors here is unbelievable - most have been major contributors to leading firms in their field.

From the first day you walk into our business school, your focus is on getting a job. Every single thing we do is preparing us for interviewing and getting a job. It makes life extremely stressful but it really motivated me to figure out exactly what I wanted to do, and to make it happen.

The two places where Kelley has fallen short are career services and academic advising, everywhere else they are perfect and I couldn't ask more from a business school. Academic advisors are unorganized, uniformed, and many students are left confused and unsure of the questions they present to the advisors after meeting with the them. Kelley brings in fabulous companies to recruit on campus but the two career development classes they offer do little to help students and are filled with mindless busy work.

The program is incredibly challenging but rewarding. Our facilities are awful---but they are in the process of completing the plans for a massive renovation.
