Best Business School Bathrooms



For those of you who are not aware, the U.S. News & World Report released their Top Business School Rankings in their latest issue. While I am excited to see MIT Sloan tied for fourth place among the country's best business schools, I have always wondered how our facilities compare with the other elites on this list.



1 Harvard

2 Stanford

3 Pennsylvania (Wharton)

4 MIT (Sloan)

4 Northwestern (Kellogg)



What better measure of school facilities exists beyond its bathrooms? Instead of merely constructing a bathroom pictorial of the country's five best business schools, I have gathered pictures from these schools' bathrooms and offer readers the chance to match the bathroom with the school. Answers will be in next month's issue. Here is a hint: I hope that our future MBA performance is not an indication of our current bathroom conditions.



a.) Harvard

b.) Stanford

c.) Pennsylvania (Wharton)

d.) MIT (Sloan)

e.) Northwestern (Kellogg)





Funny Class Quotes



Exchange between a Sloan Fellow and the Business Law professor about the basics of anti-discriminatory code of law in the United States:



Sloan Fellow: "So, you mean that an employer cannot fire a person because he does not like her significant other, right?"

Professor: "That's correct."

Sloan Fellow: "Wow, so this holds even for that girl who was dating King Kong in the movie? I mean, she was a journalist, so the newspaper could not fire her because she was dating Kong, right?"



[Professor, dumbfounded, looks at the Sloan Fellow for a few seconds while contemplating his added value in class…]





Luda Kopeikina, lecturer for the SIP course "The Right Decision Every Time", in the most matter-of-fact tone possible:



"Management equals misery. Sorry, but that's true. [...] You are all going to be miserable. I'm sorry."



SIP Course: "Cool under pressure" in which the professor was explaining an experiment which measured the placebo effect, by putting a balloon in people's arses and blowing it up. While some patients had anesthetic lubrication, others did not.



"if it only works with a balloon in your rectum it wouldn't be very useful"



Overheard in class



European male student: "Do you have a rubber?" (Euro term for an eraser)

American female student: "Do I look like I'm carrying any condoms?"



First-year Sloanie looking very distraught upon leaving her Accounting mid-term:



"Don't you wish it was just counting, instead of accounting?"



If you have heard an outrageous comment and feel that it would be a disservice not to enlighten the Sloan community with its enjoyment, please email me at: hourdaj@sloan.mit.edu, and I will post the best ones in each issue.
