In college your grades actually matter. And I can't speak for others, but I did not have money in college since my parents were working-class. In business school, I do just enough work to get by and don't have to worry AT ALL about my grades. Almost no one is competitive when it comes to academics, so we all just chill and have a good time. And since I have more money now, I can splurge once in a while on cool trips. For example, I just came back from a trip to Rio de Janeiro with 60 of my classmates: sightseeing, getting bottles at upscale nightclubs, lavish sushi and steak dinners, etc. It was pretty cool, and on the plane ride back home, I thought to myself, "Wow. This is so much more fun than college on every level."
Simply put, business school is the FUCKING SHIT. Imagine having sex with a really hot girl while on cocaine. Then multiply that feeling by 100, and you will get an idea of how awesome b-school is.

"Wow. I just read through this entire thread while eating ben&jerry ice cream and absolutely loved it. WSO at its best.
Not to further add fire to this, but i just talked to a college friend who is also HBS 2014, and he said similar things as the OP's friend, albeit in a much more restrained tone. As a matter of fact, him and his classmates are going to the hamptons this weekend to party at surf lodge, some sort of exclusive hamptons club. They're meeting up with vanderbilt and uva sorority girls to party. So yeah, it definitely seems like a lot of fun."

"I agree with you though that my pedigree does not impress the hot stuck-up sorority girls at say uva, duke, vandy, bu, bc, usc, etc. I've met some of those types, and they were totally unimpressed by my degrees, and some of them even looked down on me. Now I'm not saying that a top b-school alone will get the panties to drop, but it sure will help a lot and make the mission easier to accomplish."
