San JUan, Puerto Rico

About this trip

Before getting used to Sloan time, come join us on Island time for an amazing 4-day trip to Puerto Rico!

Ever dreamt of gliding through a bioluminescent lagoon on a kayak? Craving a hike through a rainforest, where you'll spot the infamous Coqui frogs? Curious about what goes on behind the scenes at the Bacardi factory? Ever wanted to party in San Juan’s Placita? Or maybe you just want to unwind on the beach before diving into your MBA studies? We will answer all your questions and more! Join us for 4 days of bonding, exploring and just plain old having a good time. From exploring natural wonders to indulging in local delicacies like carne asada and mofongo, and from soaking up the sun on pristine beaches to dancing to the rhythm of Bad Bunny in San Juan, this trip promises to tick off all your boxes and then some.

Madeleine MBA ‘25 will try to convince you that sleeping at 10pm and waking up for 7am runs is the only way to maximize the business school experience, Varun MBA/MPP ‘26 will try to get you to sign up for the Boston triathlon “just for the vibes” and Sebastian MBA ‘25 will tell you why Back Bay is the epitome of Boston living.

Disclaimer: This trip will be in high demand and objectively the best time of your life, therefore it may ruin all the rest of your MBA trips in the future.
