The Pre MBA beckons

As I lay in my bed, in Mitchell Hall at Cranfield apparently random thoughts run across my head. It was only two days back that I left India, my family & friends behind, for the (com)promised land and the degree of my dreams, an MBA.

People have been arriving for last couple of days to join the PreMBA that started today and it has been like I already know many of these people (The connect cranfield portal has something to do with it) but, the common threads that run are the threads of having left something behind, of being in new place, of a strange bond that Cranfield has provided. But most importantly its the thread of we all being students again, free from worldly obligations. Well, not so free as many of us have taken a loan to fund this MBA and many are here with their families.

Looking forward, a nice well-charted Pre MBA course awaits us and I am sure we all will have a fantastic time over the next two weeks.
