MBS vs AGSM

Just like the "fight" between Sydney and Melbourne on which is the more livable city, MBS & AGSM are both "fighting" for the prestige of the no.1 MBA school in Australia. Some turn to rankings to compare, some use their own experiences, while some get references from friends and colleagues. As I am in MBS, of course I believe my school is the better MBA school. But last Saturday proved my point right.

We had the traditional MBS vs AGSM cup where the two schools compete in debate and sports, namely, volleyball, soccer and frisbee. It was great fun to meet and play with the AGSM counterparts, I was mainly involved in cheering for MBS. We lost both the debate and the sports but we had much fun. I feel the reason for our loss was because we emphasized on having a great time and forming friendships with AGSM students, we were not competitive whatsoever. However, our AGSM friends were very competitive. For example, we were leading in volleyball, and AGSM suddenly changed players to put in their best big boys, while we kept our small asian girls who were having fun in the game. Our soccer team boys were on student exchange at other business schools this term and we had anyone and everyone who wanted to play in the games.

Though we lost the cup, we won the unofficial drinking competition! Woo Hoo! This shows that in MBS, we work hard and we play hard! =) I am glad I had the chance to meet AGSM, it just double confirmed I made the right choice! If all things are equal, it is the people in MBS that made my MBA choice right. The classmates, the seniors, the staff, the school, MBS is just way better!
