Duke MMS Student Blog

Fall break might be just a break for most of the students, but for some in our community, it was more than just that.

I knew MMS would help bridge the gaps in my college experience caused by the pandemic. What I did not know, however, was that every day I would get the chance to look back and see firsthand how much of a life-changing opportunity attending Duke and Fuqua was for me.

It’s definitely fun to hang out with a group of people different from those in your program, as you get to learn different perspectives, opinions and lots of ideas.

It’s back to college for many students in Fuqua’s Master of Management Studies program and the start already feels accelerating as well as exhilarating!

This decision to enroll at Fuqua is not an easy one to make and lots of factors should be weighed when doing so. I’ve put together the exact questions and factors that I took into consideration when I made the decision to attend Fuqua.

An essential value of the Fuqua School of Business for me is culture and community, which once embraced, leave you a part of this big family for the rest of your life.

As someone who desperately needed this when I was searching for a place to live a year ago, I’ll be giving you details that I wish I had known when I was going through this process.

We can’t wait to see what’s next for them as they positively impact their colleagues, companies and communities!

When I decided to travel to Durham at the start of the MMS program, I swore to myself that I will get out of my little bubble of comfort.

I found my seat in a lecture hall during our Duke Master of Management Studies orientation session. I was too nervous to bother with what time it was.
