Trimester 2 (2011/2012)

My time at Nanyang was definitely a cultural detour from the MBA at Chicago Booth. I came to Singapore to gain a better understanding of how business is done in Asia, and was fortunate to have professors who were knowledgeable not only of Singapore, but of SE Asia in general.

The best classroom experience was in my retail strategies course. We were tasked with developing a growth strategy for one of Singapore's leading chain restaurants. It was an honor and a privilege to work with the restaurant's management. That was a unique, unmatched experience.

The students at Nanyang were warm and welcoming, and made sure to incorporate the exchange students into their study groups and social activities.

Overall, I had a great time.
