Can you feel Black October Coming at HBS?

Just a few more days til it's here.

What's everyone's strategy going to be? Are you gonna go in guns blazing, or play the waiting game?

I'd love to get some strategy talk going. Exciting times for the broken hearts in Cambridge.

Are you an actual HBS student or a wanna-be? My guess is the latter since HBS is in boston, not cambridge (allston to be specific).

And from talking to my friends there, yes, black october is pretty much already happening. In one section, 2 people have already dumped their significant others from back home to date each other. I imagine that this trend will further accelerate in october/november.

Unless HBS moved its campus across the charles river to cambridge in the past few days, you are incorrect.

 

I'm a distressed asset investor, and let me tell you, there are gonna be buy opportunities around town.

Can wait to close some deals. Things are gonna get nasty

 

3 friends of mine at HBS have already terminated their previous relationships to date girls in their sections. But this is true at all b-schools, not just HBS.
