I realized that in spite of the fact that I’ve been poring over every photo, video, piece of writing I can find about INSEAD, many of you might not have any idea where it is or what it looks like or what the program is. So, here I will post some helpful links.
Link #1: Overview of the INSEAD MBA Program (or Programme, as they spell it).
Link #2: Tour of the Fontainebleau Campus (or Fonty as it is affectionately nicknamed).
Link #3: Overview of the Difference Between INSEAD and Harvard Business School
As for location, INSEAD is located in beautiful, leafy Fontainebleau (Fon-ten-blow …not -blue), France, which is situated about 40 minutes southeast of Paris and is easily accessible by train. It’s literally in the middle of the woods – back in the day the king had his hunting lodge there and this is the town surrounding it. Of course, a king’s lodge looks more like a palace (this one, actually) and now functions as a museum, and the forest (the Forêt de Fontainebleau) is mostly known for its world-renowned geology and rock climbing.
With a few of my extra minutes, I’ve made a very helpful diagram for those of you who are still not clear on the geography:
Okay, that’s all for now. I think I addressed all the basics…any questions I didn’t answer?

Just taking a wild guess here, B? It’s L 🙂 It was by chance I stumbled on your page and noticed the INSEAD ’11J and Vivante in common. I guess I’m not the only one in the house who’s decided to start a blog! It seems like your 1 blog ahead of me though 😛 I’ll have to catch up.
So excited, see you soon!!
