""Sup Brady! It's great hearing from you. Hope chi-town is treating you well. But yeah, HBS just started, still going through orientation. Man, I'm having a f*cking blast so far. Tons of parties, people getting blasted every night. Of course once classes start, we will calm down just a little bit. Lol. But i've been going out to tons of spots in boston and meeting chicks left and right. You're right about the H-bomb. It's definitely powerful!

Half of my classmates are in relationships, but it's not going to last past black october. People are hooking up like rabbits already, and any long-distance relationship will not last. I have my eye on a few chicks; we'll see what unfolds.

You should join us for a trip once you're done with applications. We already have plans to go to brazil, vegas, miami, carribbean, europe. Pretty much wherever we want.

Anyways, gotta go. Let's keep in touch, and let me know if you need any help on mba essays. Best of luck, brah."

"Wow. I just read through this entire thread while eating ben&jerry ice cream and absolutely loved it. WSO at its best.

Not to further add fire to this, but i just talked to a college friend who is also HBS 2014, and he said similar things as the OP's friend, albeit in a much more restrained tone. As a matter of fact, him and his classmates are going to the hamptons this weekend to party at surf lodge, some sort of exclusive hamptons club. They're meeting up with vanderbilt and uva sorority girls to party. So yeah, it definitely seems like a lot of fun."

"I also went out a lot when i was younger, probably have been to every club/lounge in chicago worth going to. But I'm looking for something very different now, an experience that just being in chicago won't give me. However, you and many others on here simply don't get it."

"I'm good on all 3 counts. Once I lost weight after college I did just fine with girls. I just want to expand my social and professional network and be surrounded by interesting smart people. Apparently though WSO just doesn't get it."

"I agree with you though that my pedigree does not impress the hot stuck-up sorority girls at say uva, duke, vandy, bu, bc, usc, etc. I've met some of those types, and they were totally unimpressed by my degrees, and some of them even looked down on me. Now I'm not saying that a top b-school alone will get the panties to drop, but it sure will help a lot and make the mission easier to accomplish."

"We ARE all interesting and valuable human beings. And yet , if an obsession with getting into a good business school forces you to get good grades , study well for the GMAT , expand your extracurriculars and do some community service , I fail to see how it isn't for the better.

If Brady wants to volunteer on the Southside , who cares whether its altruistic or not ? I think it will still make him a better person"

to which he RESPONDS IMMEDIATELY:

"Indeed. I'm now on the fundraising associate board of a major non-profit that mentors inner city high school kids. I've been doing a lot of more interesting stuff this year and busting my ass off on the GMAT. I haven't drank any alcohol since June. Total hermit until I CRUSH the GMAT."

"I do want to be in a city where women are more likely to be impressed by school; hence, NYC/Boston/DC/SF seem like good targets in that regard. Chicago sucks when it comes to this; most girls just go for dumb overweight big 10 frat bros who guzzle natty lights."

"Doesn't it deserve to be on a pedestal though? It's the best business school in the world, pretty widely agreed. Also, it sounds like you are speaking for the entire WSO community, did someone appoint you as the official WSO spokesperson?"

Then under the sockpuppet "detergent" he goes on a 10+ post exchange defending HBS. LOLOLOLOL!

Lol. I sent you a PM. I wonder if we know the same people. My HBS buddy who wrote me the original e-mail is also going to hamptons this weekend with some of his classmates. They're hanging out with vandy girls who recently graduated from college and are working in NYC in pr/advertising/marketing. My friend is pretty overwhelmed with how much attention he's getting from girls since when we would go out in chicago, he got zero attention.

Recently, as I contemplate my life in this soulless dystopian tech city, I cannot help but fantasize about Chicago and how awesome that city really is. So underrated. The only true negative is the winters. Consider the following:

Very cheap for a major city, especially rent. There are amazing luxury highrise apartments everywhere, but the rent is still below not just NYC and SF but also Seattle, LA, Boston, DC. The city is super affordable on all aspects.

Only U.S. city aside from NYC where you really don't need a car to get around. Yes, other cities have public transportation systems, but they are not as well developed and comprehensive. Chicago is truly urban in this regard.

Amazing restaurant and nightlife scene. It's world class, just below NYC. You have everything from upscale lounges in River North to Big 10 sports bars in Lincoln Park and hipster dive bars in Wicker Park and everything in between. The restaurant scene is massive, with enough diversity to keep you engaged for years.

Urban beauty and aesthetics. The downtown core and the surrounding area is stunning, as it straddles pristine Lake Michigan, with Lincoln, Grant, and Millennium parks nearby. One can go jogging or biking on the trail right next to the lake, a trail that extends more than 10 miles. You also have North Avenue and Oak street beaches, where you can play beach volleyball, grab drinks, and hang out. The city is very walkable and clean, as there are no garbage bags lying on the streets.

Incredible summers. Best summer city in the country. It's plenty warm but not too humid (far less so than NYC and obviously the South), and the social scene is out of control, as everyone is out and enjoying the summer: Cubs games, outdoor festivals, rooftop parties, daydrinking at outdoor bars, lounging by the pool, and so much more. Words cannot describe how awesome Chicago summers are.

Dating scene. I have to admit that it's not as good as NYC but a close second. Plenty of beautiful fit women and a vibrant singles scene.

Midwestern humility and culture. Despite being a world-class city, it lacks the elitism of NYC, the superficiality of L.A., and the obnoxious ultra-liberal sanctimony of Seattle and SF. For the most part, the people are nice and down to earth. Although the city is liberal, the people don't obsess over politics; very rarely will you meet a woman who asks about your political views on a first date. The city is quintessentially All-American.

Fantastic work-life balance. People here just don't work crazy hours. Even in finance, 80+ hours are virtually unheard of. People are out of the office by 7 PM for the most part. This allows ample time to actually do stuff on weekday evenings.
