The pros:
• Good location (through extremely small)
• Top professors
• Diversity
• The week at LSE
The cons:
• They accept everyone, and I mean everyone, they do interviews just to make you feel/think there’s a process but it is not. There were people who were just not prepared for an MBA, period!
• Everyone and I mean everyone has scholarships. So don’t feel special if you get one.
• Nobody knows this university in Madrid. In my job interviews, they even asked me if it was an online MBA. So forget about prestigious. “Esden” won’t open doors for you.
• Unlike other business schools, the internships that Esden gets for students are a joke, some of them are just 50€ per month! Nobody in my class got well-paid internships and the one who did, she found that internship by herself not by Esden.
The worst:
• The students. They are the typical Latin Americans who come to Europe to have the “best year of my life”, they skip a lot of classes, they are always traveling, wanna start classes late and want to finish early. They don’t read the cases and don’t to their homework so they decrease the quality of the class, they are unable to provide strong opinions to the class. They come to party, not to study. But it’s not their fault, it’s Esden’s fault for accepting everyone without filters. But as I said Esden is a business and not a business school and not accepting a student is at least 9.000€ less income, that’s why they do that.
