It's different this time around.

This trip to Manhattan is definitely different than last year's sessions. The year two students can't claim it's easier -- but it is different. Less stress. Lacking the tensions. The courses seem more "do able".

I'm not sure that the program is a lot different in the second year. I believe it is most likely that the students are different in year two. We have adjusted to the pace of the MAB program. We know it is possible to cover major economic concepts in four days of learning; we have experienced the process of dicing through many long chapters of a text book in just one week.

Moral of the story: year one is training camp and it pays off big. Year two keeps you in the game, but you're a seasoned player by the start of the season!
