What about the Rice MBA program has surprised you the most?

In a sentence, what is the one piece of advice you have for prospective students?
Pick your battles. I cannot emphasize enough on how important it is to not get lost among the myriad activities and events happening during your first year, but it's very necessary to decide early on what it is that you want to do and what isn't your cup of tea.
