The student experience at HBS is a unique opportunity to network with passionate individuals, experience the case method together, and retain fundamental business knowledge that will serve as the foundation of your future leadership positions.

The HBS Community 

5 Reasons to Join a Club at HBS

When students arrive on campus for the first time, the suspense of meeting Section mates, preparing for potential cold calls, and understanding campus food options can feel overwhelming. Having the option to join a club that mirrors any facet of who you are helps greatly in the transition to life as an MBA student over the next two years. Having people to lean on during challenging times is what forges lifelong friendships and is one of the things that makes HBS such a vibrant community. While each club on campus builds its own micro-community, there are over ten affinity clubs that create fellowship among those with similar life experiences.
