• • -I feel that Kelley was a great value for the money and I would definitely recommend it to friends and colleagues (and have already done so). The quality of the instruction and preparation was excellent--I went to a really good college prep high school and private engineering college, and the MBA program at this public state university was just as good as my experiences in those previous that were more "prestigious."
    
    -In spite of the fact that the quality of education at Kelley School of Business is superior, there is a lot of room for improvement in support structure such as Graduate Career Services and Academy connections. These support groups need improvement in their activities.
    
    -My time at Kelley was wonderful and Bloomington is a great city. As a father of two, Bloomington was a great town for my children to spend two years of their lives. The education (professors) were top notch and Graduate Career Services did a good job of bringing employers to campus in a horrible economy. If I had a friend interested in finance, I would recommend Kelley for corporate finance, but not for investment management. Being in the heartland, on-campus opportunities for students seeking a career in investments is very limited.
    
    -I think the culture of Kelley will work for just about everyone, although I believe it is a much more inviting, friendly atmosphere than other B-schools which makes it easier to learn, take risks, and get outside your comfort zone.
    
    -While the school was top notch in terms of academic rigor and variety, graduate career services left a lot to be desired. They could have been more in tune with changing job market realities. I felt that their reaction was forced rather than proactive. Also despite the huge international population, not a lot of effort has been expended in figuring out suitable career options for them and more often than not they are left to fend for themselves. Consulting was a huge, huge disappointment. The school needs to wake up and realize that there are other functions apart from marketing which need nourishment and attention.
    
    -Kelley is an exceptional school that is hurt by its distance from a major metropolitan area. The training and preparation I received here helped me achieve more than most of my counterparts from prestigious schools.
    
    -The program really cares about their students. Professors almost always would go the extra mile in explaining a topic or getting back to you in a timely matter with questions. Also, GCS did all that they could to ensure students were staying engaged with the intern or job search process.
    
    -Kelley offers a unique blend of intense academic rigor with an intimate team focused environment. The coursework is demanding, and Kelley does an excellent job at preparing students for interviewing, networking, and career guidance. Professors are widely accessible - from office hours to dinner parties to tailgating events. Although I was concerned that the Bloomington location would be a geographic limitation, my concerns were overdone. Full-time offers are national in scope; my colleagues have accepted offers in NYC, Boston, Minneapolis, SF, Chicago, and Dallas, etc.
    
    -The smaller class size (only 230 per class) makes it large enough to have a very diverse experience but small enough to take the time an know everyone in the program. Also, the professors are the among the best in the nation and many are the leading researchers in their field. It seems that they truly enjoy teaching.
    
    -Graduate Career Services at Kelley is very weak. It has failed to provide international students with any internship or full-time opportunities. The entire approach to placement has not been very serious at graduate career services at Kelley School of Business. Moreover, the alumni network at Kelley is very limited to a handful of CPG companies where most international students are not even allowed to interview.
    
    -The students here have a warm, positive attitude. Lectures are very interactive, and students often share their pre-work experiences to help highlight various management issues, relevant to the cases we discuss in class.
    
    -I would recommend Kelley to those whose career ambitions are in line with what the school can practically offer. Investment banking and consulting are major weak points for the school and students have a hard time breaking into tier one firms in these fields. Also, another major incentive to come to Kelley is if you have substantial financial aid coming your way.
    
    -In marketing, there are many companies who come to Kelley, but there are many who don't. Most are Midwest-based, which is okay. Often, though, we talk to companies who recruit Chicago, Northwestern, Michigan, and then Kelley, and too often Kelley is the third priority. Kelley does very well at lots of impressive companies - P&G, in particular, as well as Target, Kraft, and the beginnings of a strong relationship with Walmart - but I feel like those companies view Kelley students as fallbacks or 'the next tier.'
