Choose B-School for spending your college time is a bad idea.

I study at an elite European b-school now, but I gradually realized that those b-schools without a college setting is not an ideal place to do ur college and spend ur early 20s. And some of my friends study at LSE, Bocconi, St.Gallen and NYU hold similar thoughts as me and these schools often have a lower student satisfaction rate than those real college. Choosing b-school as ur college usually means you will miss out on the whole campus experience and a typical college life, and those exciting football/baseball games, cheerleader girls, fraternities, on-campus dorm  parties and a variety of activities will exclusively happened in a real college with real campus. Idk how many ambitious monkeys there believe themselves can accept to trade off their college life for a good offer, although it is not guaranteed even when you attended an elite b-school and made the trade-off decision, but now I realized I don’t belong to this group of people.
