Hey,

Harvard Business School is not just an institution but a 'dream' for many individuals.It is one of the best institutions of this world and being a part of this holistic institution makes for a great deal of matter.It is a life time achievement in itself.Only the best get to study here.You need to score above 724 in GMAT besides having an exceptional academic performance or CV.

Now coming to your question about "partying or enjoying".Well,it is entirely your choice and nobody would force you for any thing.I don't know what you mean by "attending parties".I mean there is no problem even if you party besides working hard in Havards.It is the part of your college life and it will help you make new friends especially when you are away from your country,you do need friends to survive .

And coming to the point of safety.I don't know what's your perception of women safety but let me get it straight that HBS is as safe as your home. It's ambience prepares you to survive in this world on your own terms.

See,no place is completely safe but that doesn't mean you stop going out of the house. You need to work to survive and for that you got to leave your comfort zones.Be brave enough to face challenges.Moreover,Harvard Business School promotes the inclusion of women and provides resources for them to make a difference in this world.There are so many women alumnae of HBS who are doing wonders.

As of now,work hard to ensure your GATE score is good enough to get you the ticket to Harvard Business School.And for heaven's sake you need to broaden your horizon.For once start looking at world with a new perspective and free yourself from those conventional norms.

Good luck.
