Thursday October 26: Wharton Business School, Philadelphia

Amtrak is probably by far the most expensive railway company in the world. For my trip New York-Philadelphia (~1 hour) I paid 218$ , and that was just for the regular 'business class' (since on this route they don't have an 'economy class', 'business class' is actually their economy class).

Anyway, I had to go to Philadelphia for a Bain recruiting presentation at Wharton business school. After these presentations, there is a cocktail/walking dinner where we can talk with the students and where they can ask questions on specific offices. Together with Jens (from the Brussels office who is currently at Harvard) 4 other guys from London, I represented the European office.















Given that I only arrived at 5pm and that I had to leave the next morning at 6.30am, I haven't seen an awful lot of Philadelphia, but I managed to go for a 30' walk in the neighbourhood of the hotel, which was at Logan Square (see picture, the Swan fountain in the middle).
