Wharton Tops HBS In Satisfaction Survey Despite 'The People', 'The Bathroom Sitch'
God only knows what "the bathroom sitch" in Philadelphia is,1 but apparently it wasn't bad enough to sink Wharton in a recent survey. Meanwhile, the people's awesomeness and horribleness seem to have canceled each other out.
Students at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business are more satisfied with their education than are people at the Harvard Business School, according to Wharton. On Monday, the Wharton Journal, a campus newspaper, touted the results of a survey of over 200 students showing that MBA candidates at Wharton rate the school higher on a measure of satisfaction than HBS students did when that school did its own research...Wharton students who were not overjoyed with the school cited concerns such as "the bathroom sitch" and the prevalence of "Ex PE [private equity] robots who just want to make money and die." Those who rated the program highly were most likely to credit "the people" for their experience. Unfortunately for "the people," they were also the most frequently cited reason students didn't like the school.
