Attended the first INSEAD parties this past weekend, one in Bourron Marlotte, the other at the Auberge du Vieux Moulin in Montigny Sur Loing. While they were not too wild, they were still tons of fun. The hosts are representative of the fun, outgoing, and intelligent INSEADers that you want to hang out with. Since people are still getting to know each other, naturally there were many repeated conversations about where you’re from, what you want to do, etc. Also, I’d say nobody wanted to establish a bad rep so early on, hence the slight reservations. We’ll see how things go in the future when the pressure starts to mount and people become familiar with one another.

In terms of logistics, the parties were simple and effective. Everyone bring a bottle of wine or 6-pack, and the host provides the music and location. Nothing elaborate like the huge party we’re planning here at Montmelian. I can’t divulge any details yet, but let’s just say it’s gonna be boatloads of fun. Stay tuned.
