Ask them questions, sit in their boardrooms, tour their facilities, hear their strategies, etc.

That sounds just... fantastic! They seem to have an innovative business dept. at that university. I honestly can't imagine how much such a trip would cost. Does the university get a discount rate of some kind for the students signing up?

A truly awesome opportunity, I'm so excited!

You lucky dog.

I'll have to spend my own money on the MBA. So I'm still inclined to wait for Rev.B. But there's nothing like the instant gratification of pushing the 1-click buy button on Amazon.

Sounds like you should get one *now* to me, no question about it.
