Winter in Fontainebleau – a MIM perspective
Winter in Europe can be tough, especially if you’ve never experienced real cold before. The days get shorter, the skies turn grey, and suddenly you start wondering if Paris is still that great, romantic, and beautiful city you thought it was. For many of us, this change of light and rhythm can feel a bit heavy. The motivation drops, the evenings feel longer, and a small winter blues slowly sneaks in.
Culture Week at INSEAD
Dear MIMs,Congratulations on surviving P2! You may now exhale for the first time in six weeks.If I had to describe P2 in one sentence, I’d say it was a mix of academic pressure, unexpected friendships, cultural celebrations and moments where I wondered if I actually lived anywhere outside the Asia Centre.
Between problem sets and parties: what INSEAD is really about
Dear MIM'27,You did it. We did it.P1 exams are finally behind us. The coffee machine can rest, our cheat sheets lie crumpled in the corners of our room, and we can finally breathe a little. The relief is real, the celebrations were loud, and the first beer after Data Analysis tasted liked pure heaven.In the middle of the stress and chaos of exams, something special happened.

INSEAD’s balance of theory and practice stood out from other schools.

INSEAD’s prestige and ranking were a factor, but what really drew me in was the diversity of the people and the international perspective.
Marylène De Man
I’d heard from past MIMs how much they valued the people and the diversity at the school, and I can say it definitely doesn’t disappoint.
Reminiscing about the past: how a failure long ago shapes my mindset today
My dear MIMs,At first, I couldn’t put two words together for this editorial. My mind kept jumping between my personal story, a philosophical outlook, some study tips, and even a stand-up speech (we’re all lucky I scrapped that one). The white screen stared back at me for two long hours.And then, it hit me. I needed to write about failure.
And they’re off: MIM'27’s first weeks in Fontainebleau
As we prepare to move forward from Launch Week, all new MIM students will no doubt feel a certain bittersweetness. While we know the real courses are about to begin, bringing a great deal of excitement, the experience of these last two weeks has been nothing short of exceptional.
INSEAD MIM: Where a year feels like a lifetime
Dear MIM’27,First of all, congratulations.You’ve made it. I hope you take a second to sit with that and be proud of how far you’ve come.If I could go back and do this year all over again, I would. I’d do it a little slower this time because the truth is, it goes by fast. So while you’re here, really be here. The year will unfold on its own, and you just have to show up, fully. A few things I learned along the way:1. INSEAD is an all-you-can-eat buffet
