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.
