When people think Kellogg, they think \u201cmarketing,\u201d and while the marketing program is great, people miss the importance of the community\u2014the social\/networking aspect of the MBA was invaluable to my business, GamedayHousing.com, and its growth. At Kellogg, everyone lives a mile from school, so it is easy to be on campus all the time\u2014I treated my MBA experience like a job. I was there 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., every day of the week. This immersion experience gave me a real comfort and made me feel at ease sharing ideas and asking questions\u2014and asking questions to the right people.<\/p>\n

As I built Gameday, I was constantly getting feedback from professors and my fellow students. I would show people my logo, would reach out to professors with questions constantly. I remember thinking, \u201cIf I was not a student, my professors would be charging me $500 per hour\u2014I need to soak up as much as possible while I am not on the clock!\u201d Even today, I have a great friend who is a JD\/MBA from Northwestern, and we talk all the time. I send him screen shots of our new Web site. We go back and forth about our pricing strategy. We have not seen each other in two and a half years, but we talk all the time. This socialization with others and this shared experience still is one of the most valuable and enduring impacts of my MBA. I have a way of thinking and testing that I did not have before Kellogg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
