One point for the CFA track.

From: Student Council – Social Reps
Subject: Campus Exchange – Update on Restrictions

Dear all,

As some of you are aware, the MBA office has decided to put in place certain restrictions on the campus exchange.

Since the beginning of this year, and particularly in January/February, some students have behaved in an unacceptable manner, usually involving irresponsible alcohol consumption, raucous behaviour and partial nudity on and off campus. This has coincided with executive programmes and careers events and has placed INSEAD in a negative light with many visitors. The Social Reps uphold the “Work Hard, Play Hard” ethic at INSEAD, after all we basically invented the notion, but we have to agree with the MBA office that some recent behaviour is beyond reasonable and may adversely affect us all.

The MBA office has proposed a ‘freeze’ on the campus exchange to Singapore next period because the worst behaviour is usually displayed by Fontainebleau students who see one period in Singapore as a “holiday”. Plans are currently underway to move the curriculum to the newly opened Abu Dhabi campus, where alcohol is not readily available. The hope is that this will limit the bad behaviour and allow the students to focus on their studies. Under these plans, the majority of Fontainebleau students who bid to go to Singapore in P3/P4/P5 will be automatically transferred to the Abu Dhabi campus.

Please do not make any changes to your campus selection at this point. The Social Reps & the Student Council recognises that Singapore is an important part of the INSEAD experience and hope to maintain the current campus exchange tradition. We continue to work with the MBA office to find an acceptable solution. In the meantime, please watch the amount you drink and try to keep your clothes on.

    So the Social Wrappers are sending the students to Abu Dhabi insead of Singapore…looks like the slogan just changed from ‘Work Hard, Play Hard’ to ‘Work Hard, Get Worked Hard’.

    Blue fountain, no thanks.

    Please be to not come to my country my friend. We do not tolerate the kissing and the drinking the wines and the showing the skin.

    @6 – Please do not try to be funny my friend. We do not tolerate the lack of humor and lack of creativity you display.

    I hire MBA students who can’t keep their pants on.

    I think @18 tells the truth… I mean I never really thought of Singapore as the party spot of the Orient unless you’re really into getting flogged by men in uniform…

    Singapore is a fabulous vacation spot.

    @21 Are you naked?

  25. Posted by volatilitysmile | April 8, 2010 at 4:25 PM

    A couple of my friends went through Fontainebleau – this is NOTHING compared to what I’ve heard from them. It would make marines blush, the stuff that went on there at their time. You are aware that these are the future masters of the (French) universe, right?

  26. Posted by omgg | April 8, 2010 at 4:56 PM

    actually, this is pretty offensive… a bunch of Indian girls with green legs (they´re in the awk position of need tan/can´t tan) and Indian guys with, um, no legs running around naked? offensive til the cows come home…

    @21…Do you have an internship program?

    @7 – stop being derogatory toward homosexuals, you are using term “homo” as a slur.

  29. Posted by mike | April 8, 2010 at 5:34 PM

    I meant at @14 re @7

    Insead sucks, LBS swallows. Europe MBAs are sOOO overrated – don’t come anywhere close to HBS, Wharton or Columbia.

  32. Posted by Anonymous | April 8, 2010 at 6:24 PM

    HBS, Wharton,……or Columbia? Ha. Riiiiight. Not so much. Try again CBS grad.

  33. Posted by Anonymous | April 8, 2010 at 6:39 PM

    Nobody told me what I could or couldn’t do when I was studying for my CFA.

  34. Posted by really insead? I | April 8, 2010 at 6:46 PM

    only MBAs worth pursuing are Wharton or HBS. all the rest can suck it, and apparently they do!

  35. Posted by have fun in Abu Dhabi | April 8, 2010 at 6:50 PM

    If you misbehave in abu dhabi (which really does not take much, the definition of ‘behaving’ is narrowed down to have no life) INSEAD will send you to Afghanistan.

    @34 Funny, making 50% more than an HBS graduate right out the door… Yeah it sooo sucks.

    Wish I went to INSEAD. 1 year less and much more fun.

    This was an April-1st prank played by the INSEAD social-reps on the student body.
