I'm going to be attending this school in the fall. So far I hear everything is good.

Still attending this school (MBA for Executives, Charter Class). I have to say, it's a superb school! Our entire class is having fun and learning best practices as well as concepts that we just couldn't get from books alone. I highly recommend it, and would attend again. I wish I did it 10 years ago.

Great all around school. Great faculty - great students who help eachother out. The workload is way overrated.

I attended Darden in the early '90s and found their focus on developing decision-makers and leaders vs. technicians and content experts the best part of the program. The Darden concept (much like other case study schools) of pushing students to resolve 2-3 tough business cases a day and be able to articulate an defend a solution was/is a great way of developing managerial judgment and decision making. After all, in whatever industry, function or line of work we are in, the successful excel at these skills. It was not an easy program by any means, but I certainly feel I got my money's worth and wasn't paying to attend a country club that was largely geared toward making "connections".

It's not clear whether the unsigned comment dated November of 1999 reflects the author's attempt at humor or frustration but it's clearly a fabrication. There is an intensity about Darden and it is focused on returning to every student and alumnus the highest possible return on their considerable investment in a graduate business school. We evaluate Darden and the quality of our programs by the degree of lifelong professional support and value we deliver to graduates. We cannot put our mission more succinctly than did one such graduate, a well respected FORTUNE 50 CEO, who says, "Darden hardwires you for success."

When I was looking at MBA programs, I visited this school and got a first hand taste of the brutal workload. The day I was there, two whitecoated individuals came into a class which I was sitting in on, and forcibly removed one of the students. I found out later from my guide, that the guy had freaked out under the stress - he had stopped showering and talking to people, and would just sit by himself shivering in the corner during class. Fortunately for me, I was not accepted into this program, and therefore was not faced with the decision of whether to willingly subject myself to this kind of abuse.
