Harvard Business School's Unexpected Party Culture Revealed

Harvard Business School: A Party School? A recent interview with a graduate reveals a surprising side to the prestigious institution. The student, who wishes to remain anonymous, described a culture of late-night partying, often lasting until 5 or 6 a.m. "They actually party over there," she said, "four times a week." The school's grading system, based on a bell curve, further contributes to the pressure. The bottom 10% receive a grade of three, the top 10% a one, and the middle 80% a two. Despite this pressure, the graduate shared her own experience of prioritizing parties over studying and still managing to pass. This raises questions about the balance between academics and social life at elite universities. The story highlights the need for a more holistic approach to student well-being.
