I had lunch one of these days with a Malay, Australian and Italian friend on a lovely terrace in the sun facing the most famous and come to think of it quite unique carousel of Fontainebleau. We talked about differences between Wharton and Insead as two of these friends had gone to Wharton.
We picked an example: Cabaret.

Cabaret (or equivalent of) at Wharton is a huge production, perfectly oiled that students prepare months in advance.
Cabaret at Insead is a huge production, full of original and cynical acts that students prepare weeks in advance that intermixes songs, dances, jokes, acts around the school and fun things that happened in France and in various countries.

This might be fairly representative of Insead - the international diversity of its participants confers to the school the ability to generate an equally diverse set of original ideas and levels of creativity and entrepreneurial behaviors run high. Not everything works perfectly - like in a small enterprise - but it is an endless source of fun.

And as they put it in Cabaret - One Ding To Rule Them All
