Here is a short list of cool things about the UW MBA class of 08.

1. Unlike last year’s *huge* class of 120, we only have 91 students. This breaks down into about 45 students per class. I’ll actually know the name of each person in my class…..weird.
2. After checking out my peers at Jump Start, there are plenty of women in my program. Go ladies!
3. As expected, the number of international students is high. This makes me very happy. One of them teaches Chinese and has offered to teach anyone a little bit of that language. I’m game.
4. Not that I expected anyone to be a jerk, but everyone is so nice and non-egotistical. Granted, I’ve only known these people for seven days but they seem pretty darn cool so far.
5. And finally, everyone I’ve met has interests outside of B school. I won’t be working with a bunch of grade-grubbers or robots. These are people I’d hang out with even if we weren’t required to sit in the same room together for 20+ hours a week.
