Welcome !

Welcome to the Blog of the Most International MBA on earth ! . The one year MBA of HULT International Business School located in the beautiful city of Boston promised us that it will be the most "international and Diverse " MBA and the orientation day indeed delivered what the insititution promised. How many MBA classes can boast of Students coming from Brazil, Venezula, Portugal, Canada, India (Aye ! we are the highest number in this class too), China, Japan,Korea and even Australia ? Even countries like Macedonia, Greece and Russia are represented in this class.

Apart from diversity in terms of the countries, the class of August 2008 at Hult has Students who have previously worked as Musicians, Cardiologists, Entrepreneurs, Bank Managers,Currency traders and of course the usual Information Technology (IT) Engineers (And yes I am one of them). And the orientation day was really fun with me listening (and trying to understand) the English Accents of almost all regions on World. So we had people speaking Spanlish (Spainish accented English), Chinglish (Chinese English, by far the most difficult one for me to understand, Frenglish and of course my own Hinglish(Indian English , which though not much accented is fast paceed. So we need slow down to the American way of speaking english which is a challenge in itself).

So it seems we are going to have a challenging year ahead. Firstly the culture shock in terms of diversity . Add to that the fact that it is a one year MBA, which means the we have less time to assimilate things and need to be on our toes from day one. Hoping that the year turns out to be a great one !
