""Before coming to Fuqua I knew that I would be going to one of the best Schools in the US. I remember when I interviewed with several Fuqua alumni they mentioned that I was about to have the best two years of my life. Nothing could be closer to the truth….. There are four things that really impressed me while I was studying here.
1. Team Fuqua. Team Fuqua differentiates Fuqua students from other schools. Even though students are very competitive, Fuqua students always work together and look for ways to improve the Fuqua brand.
2. Strong International Presence. More than forty percent of Fuqua students are internationals. In a globalized business environment it is essential to interact with people from all over the world.
3. Rankings. Fuqua is improving as a school each year and I am proud to be part of this improvement.
4. Living in Durham. The big advantage of living in a city like Durham is that you are able to meet and interact with all your MBA classmates. This creates a strong community within Fuqua. Living in Durham is also less expensive than living in a larger city and as such the quality of life is better.
As I reflect on my time at Fuqua, I can now I can say that I made the right decision.""

"This year at Fuqua has been amazing. I have been able to meet excellent people both in professional and personal sides. Fuqua is a really international school which gives you the opportunity to meet people from different countries and to understand how businesses and life are in other parts of the world. I chose Fuqua because of its great team work environment and strong reputation in the US. I have been able to experience Team Fuqua from the very beginning of the MBA both inside and outside the classroom. Duke and Fuqua offers you thousands of activities to do outside classes and it just depends on you if you take advantage of them or not. In terms of the city, my wife and I are very happy to live in Durham since it offers you a quality of life that is difficult to find in other cities in US. I joined the LASA and Private Equity Club cabinets last year and now I’m in charge of the Latin American Business Conference 2010. So far this has been a great experience and I have no doubt that these will be some of the best years of my life."
