3 Weeks in Manhattan before SA
So I’ll be in Manhattan for 3 weeks before my internship actually starts. Any suggestions on things to do, how to spend my time, or maybe any prep work I could do?

Explore the city, eat/drink & enjoy your freedom!
Yeah definitely gonna try and explore as much of the city as I can. Any must-do’s or must-see’s?
If you're single, line up some dates via Hinge and find some interesting people.
Walking the High Line is nice, 9/11 memorial, walking down 5th Ave and Chelsea area. Head to brooklyn for a meal or two, walk the brooklyn bridge.
MOMA or MET if they are open, you should go up to the Edge in hudson yards (100 floor balcony deck)
I would honestly not prep. If IB is gona be brutal, enjoy your free time when you can. What I do suggest is once you hit the desk post training it will be slow (they will slowllly ramp you up) and take that time to learn extra excel shortcuts or go over modeling videos, etc to make your life easier. Don’t worry about prep before
Do NOT prep, that is so lame.
Echo the above: go to the High Line, walk around Brooklyn and go to a rooftop bar, walk around Central Park and have a picnic, find some live events going on over the weekend, check out the food in Queens. Maybe try to connect w/ someone you know in the city for drinks (or could even grab coffee with someone who interviewed you or something)
Go to Mr. Purple and get laid.
