Category: Exploring Columbus

We are now standing in the halfway of a semester. Looking back at the memories we made, I found countless sparkling moments. MBLEr is a noun created by me, which includes every student in this program. Once an MBLEr, forever an MBLEr! There are several highlights I would like to share with you here. This is how we get started

From my previous blog post, I made it seem that the life of an SMF student is just hours and hours of studying and group projects in the Bloomberg Lab. Fortunately, there are many events around Columbus that give us the opportunities to "break free" and enjoy our days to the fullest.

Session 1 of Autumn semester is over! I can't believe it's been over 2 months since the first day of our SMF pre-term. We finished our finals last on Oct 9 and then got the rest of the week off as fall break. This was our first "actual" break since the start of the program, so as you can imagine, we were very excited. My housemates and I walk by this pizza place, Adriatico's everyday on our way home, and always say we should go there. So, that's what we did Thursday night.

After a long week full of learning about everything from the statement of cash flows to how to code probabilities in R, my brain sure needed a break.  Luckily for me, I was able to take some time off from studying and venture to Ohio State's Schottenstein Center, which hosts athletic contests for the university (e.g. basketball, etc.) as well as concerts and live events.
