The lives students led before coming to HBS can play a major role in what they will gain from their time in business school and the experience they will walk away with.

Words from an HBS Partner: Reflections on the Partner Experience

  • Student Life
As the time to say goodbye to HBS and our home in Cambridge comes around, I can’t help but reflect on our move here and the thoughts that were running through my head at the beginning of our first semester. Thoughts of worry and uncertainty, thoughts of how much I was sacrificing to support my partner’s future. As thankful as I was for this incredible opportunity, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of heaviness as I felt I was putting my life on hold for the next two years. How wrong I had it. [...]

While nothing about having kids ever goes quite as imagined, HBS did give me the gift of time with Jonathan. I could take advantage of free afternoons to nurse him at daycare and my schedule was totally predictable, allowing me to always be there to pick him up.
