The Foodie ReportLocal Dinner Spots on a Student BudgetSometimes I forget that I'm a poor student with no income. This especially happens when I'm browsing menus trying to find a place to eat dinner.

A few of us have felt that we need courses to specifically help us work within this ever-changing environment. Similarly, professors relish the opportunity to develop and teach courses that are more hands-on and address skills that are oftentimes overlooked in b-school because that are seen as subjects that are better learned on the job.
