Exchange Student Life As some of you know, I'm on exchange at Tuck School of Business in Hanover, NH for the Winter term (or the Spring term as we like to call it in London).

Tuck is a little smaller than London Business School, with an average class size of around 240 (we have 304 in London in my class). The community is relatively tight-knit and it appears to be a favoured spot for married people - 45% of Tuckies came with partners - and dogs. Stats for the Tuck MBA 2007 class show that 31 nationalities are represented in the 2007 class, with non-US students making up 28% of the population.

It can't compare with our London diversity of course. Our 2006 class has 50 nationalities (the next class has 57) represented and non-UK students made up 86% of the class. If you click on the little green box, you can read the numbers. Then again, most schools in the US are not that internationally diverse and Tuck does quite well.

Tuck is part of Dartmouth College, one of America's old Ivy League institutions. I just found out today that Michael Corleone in the famous Godfather novel by Mario Puzo, went to Dartmouth as an undergrad. I bet the school wasn't too happy with Puzo. Why not pick on Harvard like everyone else does?
