Goodbye Schwab - how I'll miss your non-stop party nature!

Schwab has been my home for the last 9 months. A 250 room complex, it houses the majority of first year MBAs (only), including the vast majority of the unmarrieds. It therefore basically runs like those American undergraduate college TV shows you see on TV, except everyone here is old enough to legally drink, and has money to spend on, well, pretty much whatever they want.

Due to the reflecting pool, high prices, and resort-like feel, Schwab a reputation at Stanford for being a bit posh. In this picture with my "new company" team and mentor, it's not hard to see why ...



... on the final Sunday, we hosted the lunch 4 people won where Robyn and I were to cook for them. I'll miss the leisurely lunches in our courtyard ...



(and here's my fruit platter - nice huh?) =)



... I'll miss the social areas where we mingled, and there was always someone to hang with (except, ironically, in this picture ...)



... to celebrate their graduation, the second years had a big "take back Schwab" night. Where once again they danced, partied and chatted in its bright orange (if somewhat clashy!) walls. Here's me with my friend Arul (and "head") ...



And the final dance party - to think, in one year, that will be me ...
