Duke MMS Student Blog

It doesn’t seem long ago that I first entered the halls of my dream school, and yet here I am, already reminiscing on my time at Fuqua.

I am deeply grateful to Fuqua for being such an important part of my life.

Six months went by in a blink of an eye. There were so many memorable moments during this period that it was tough to narrow them down to a few.

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

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!

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.

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.
