First post from Rotterdam

It's been over a week since I landed in Rotterdam and most of this time has been spent in settling in - unpacking, getting a phone connection, internet, id cards, figuring out the public transport etc. Actually, public transport here is mainly bicycles! Yes, you have the metro and the trams but everyone moves around on their bicycles. Even to bars and clubs. Now thats a biking culture!

RSM seems to be a really nice, friendly place. Similar to Tippie in some aspects - RSM also has a relatively small class size, thus giving a very personal touch to the program. A very striking feature of RSM is the international mix of its student body. With almost 40 nationalities represented, it is probably one of the most international MBA programs in the world.

Looks like this will be an interesting semester. :)
