Life at ISB (casual chat) with Vivian Joseph

Curious about what life at ISB is actually like beyond the placement reports and brochures? Let’s have an honest conversation about the academic, professional, and social experience of being at ISB.

I’ve explored different parts of the ISB experience, from academics and clubs/extracurriculars to GSB, events, networking, and campus life, so we can focus on what matters most to you.

What we’ll cover:

• Academics: Classes, workload, professors, grading, electives and managing the academic pressure
• Extracurriculars: Clubs, competitions, leadership opportunities and how to make the most of them
• GSB experience: What GSB is like, how it fits into the ISB experience and what you can expect
• Campus & social life: Friendships, events, parties, campus culture and the overall student experience
• Networking: How people actually build relationships with peers, alumni and recruiters
• Day-to-day reality: Balancing academics, extracurriculars, recruiting and having a life outside all of it
• The honest take: What I’ve loved about ISB, what’s challenging, and what I wish I had known before joining

You’ll leave with:

• A realistic picture of what life at ISB looks like
