Trip to Detroit always starts with driving to Ann Arbor ๐ this is like Pavlov’s dog experiment for me… as this visit being a recent second visit, now things around the campus and the city started to catch my attentions so walk around the outer part of campus with a cup of coffee
The main reason we drove west to Syracuse was to check out Cornell at Ithaca which is 1 hour away from Syracuse ๐ Cornell was beautiful and classy as I imagined and I truly like the school sitting on a beautiful campus structure (I hate the statement, which NYU always uses, that the City is the campus … ๐ )
Also, as a not-well-prepared MBA applicant in 20 years ago, Cornell’s Johnson was my realistic & humble target school when I was preparing my MBA at then and it has remained as my mental debt that I didn’t choose to enroll after admitted. So this trip is my gentle payback after 20 years ๐ – although I think I somewhat paid back to Cornell with A’s admission result this year ๐
The true gem experience was checking out CALS Dairy Bar at CALS building in hot summer – one of the best ice creams I had in recent years ๐
Anyhow – it was a great and very informative visit and I wish Cornell’s path and my family’s path might cross again! Although I consider myself still a man of Blue blood, go Big Red!
Troy, where I have always -even- admired as the most affluent town back in the days in AA, was where I stayed for a week…and hotel room was full of pictures on Downtown Detroit ๐
One of the best informational movies of all time: The Big Short – just realized I don’t recall the last time I fully watched this movie hence I pushed it during this weekend…
Can’t skip where my root in this town is… but the only thing remaining is the tree in the middle of B-School complex ๐ + Hotdog stand across the street
Now my little one and his friend – State of Washington boys – knows why we have a weird wifi name of ross2007 ๐
