<p>ditto on Kerbey Lane - the breakfasts are amazing, fresh squeezed OJ, and great coffee. Makes me hungry thinking about it!</p>
<p>Only bummer is the wait time on weekend mornings.</p>

<p>The big thing about orientation is registering for classes on the last day. Other than that, we’d have to go to about 2-3 worth of required stuff (like, the “be tolerant and don’t rape people” presentations). There was a ton of stuff going on all day, with different departments, professors, clubs,…etc. Basically though, you got to be totally free, and do whatever you wanted. Even better, all your required stuff was with all the other ~1200 people, so you guys didn’t need to worry too much about conflicting schedules. Also, almost all the frats were totally open, so if you’re into that sort of stuff, good times. </p>

As far as the Business Foundations Certificate being a waste of time - do you think it would look better for me to have it if I were to apply to the MBA program years after I graduate (with a degree not in Business)? Or if you would please elaborate some more if possible since I was actually thinking about the certificate.

<p>The business foundations program is a set of 5 (or 6) classes rooted in different disciplines of business. The classes tend to be huge, and often times the curriculum is much, much easier than what the McCombs kids are learning. You basically learn more about managing personal finance, and looking professional for interviews, and stuff like that. </p>
<p>If you want to get an MBA, it would be far better to have a good job, GMAT, and GPA. Your certificate in business foundations won’t hurt, but your opportunity cost of taking it might be higher than you would like.</p>
