Senior at Stern reporting live—systemically, everything is the same here. The clubs, seniority, curve, etc. Just commenting to empathize.

Some argue that clubs are essential, but I've gone rogue without them and had no trouble professionally. I can't stand the culture. Some upperclassmen frame unnecessarily brutal hazing and feeding egos as 'giving back.' However, I may be too cynical and anti-establishment.

Luckily, we have formal concentrations (finance, DS, marketing, etc.), so there are fewer useless classes. Consequentially, some complain that school seems too much like work.

As an undergraduate “business” student at a different school, I have to agree with the points you make. I do wonder, to your point about specializations, if Ross does not offer area depths or concentrations so people can design their major within the business school. Just curious because while I do have to take some boring core classes ( cough marketing cough), my area depths are finance and information systems, so I get to choose my electives within those fields. Is this similar to the structure at Ross?
