I am currently grazing the tip of the iceberg in my search for a school. I'm at the point where I am not sure what to ask beyound, do you guys have an MBA program. What matters to me? Who do I need to surround myself with? Where, what structure, should it be a great school in most areas or have a niche.
Ithe culture is extrodinarily important to me too. Flash forward, Matilda and I have been discussing culture lately and I have determined that it is very important to me. It is the very core of an orgnization and serves as the basis for all ideas, actions and eventual sucesses.
Wth that bit of knowledge in my hands, I want to point out that UCLA does not have maps on its campus. I'm not talking about they just have a few maps, they don't have any maps, none. Not inside buildings, not on pamplets by the door, nowhere. Walking around this suburban campus for half an hour totally lost I got to thinking. What does this say about this school and the people that attend it? If the administrators make the very deliberate decision to not include them it must be because nobody would look at them or use them. To take it one step further what does it say about a student body that is not willing to get lost, aknowledge that and try to figure it out in plain view or everyboy on a sidewalk map?
To me it says that people don't want to make the often embarrassing step of saying I'm lost, I need help or I don't know everything.
I don't think a school that thinks that way is right for me.
May I add a counter point. Maybe the administrators knew the student body was so outgoing that they figured anybody that was indeed lost would just ask a friendly pedestrian and directions and assistance would be a more human process. But I doubt that.
