Community

Because community shapes so much of your experience, who will you be spending your time with and learning from? At Chicago GSB, you'll be part of a group of people who will challenge and support you to be the best you can be. You'll find:

• professors who ask you to reach harder than you ever have and classmates who provide a helping hand to make sure you understand the ideas
• peers who don't compete for jobs but actually share notes about recruiting because what's important is that the job goes to a GSB grad
• individuals who aren't afraid to answer any question and know there's no wrong answer
• people who are building relationships across different backgrounds, experiences and countries of origin through study groups and soccer matches 
• students who share industry knowledge about investment banking with a former engineer looking to change careers
• alumni who give back by serving as local guides on student career treks or even taking you out for breakfast before your second round interview with their firm

The reward:

• lasting friendships
• a tremendous sense of accomplishment and pride
• the confidence to lead
• a new way of approaching business 
• mentors and business contact for life
