Lunch with MBA student- what to discuss?

Hi everyone. I will be going to lunch with an MBA student soon as part of the school's Visit the Campus program. Any tips on what questions to ask and what to discuss?

Hi

Meeting with current students is a great opportunity to find out about their perspective and experiences and to find out more about the particular aspects of the program that interest you.

Think about what has drawn you to that school and aspects of the program and the community that you envisage yourself being involved in. You can ask them if they know about these, or if not if they can put you in touch with someone who does.

Topics such as what has surprised them most about the school/program, what they think could be improved, things they've liked most/least, advice they'd give to an incomeing student, etc will all give you their personal insight.

Have a good visit.
