Another pearl of wisdom

So, any of you thinking about coming to business school... make sure you get your affairs in order before starting classes. 

I've got a wedding to go to this weekend; it's in town, it's just an afternoon, but, it's a huge dent in my study schedule.  I've had to work extra this week to lessen the load this weekend, and I'll be behind on studying come Sunday.

My advice is; if you've got a wedding, a move, a vacation, planned for your first few months at business school... forget it. There just isn't enough time.  Get everything settled before school starts. 

I lived in Nashville before classes started, so for me, the transition was simple.  If you are moving a family here, I'd get into town 3 weeks before orientation to get settled in, figure out where to buy groceries, get your drivers license, etc... otherwise, you'll be unable to do these things once school starts.
