Meet first-year MBA student Majid Nikouee (PhD, Educational Psychology) as he walks us through orientation week: what surprised him, what settled the nerves, and what actually helps on day one. We talk about reviewing materials without overdoing it, owning your unique story, asking for help early, and finding small recharge habits that kept him steady. Majid explains why the personal branding session and the negotiation exercise stood out, and how staying curious with your cohort makes the week manageable. Great info and advice for anyone approaching a multi-day learning experience like orientation.
