June 22, Day 1, a simple guy walks into the mess of a management school, with two bags on his shoulders, dragging a third behind him and the fourth lying on the gate. Has himself registered as a student at the school for the next two years of his life and gets a room number and a roommate he has to share his room with. He has no clue where his room is and so a senior, ever so humbly proposes to help him carry his luggage. While on the way the curious students ask the dos and don’ts of the place. The only reply he gets is to never mess with the professors (well that’s comforting).
