The various dimensions of the “b-school relationship” are well-documented, and the general impression is not a good one. Long-distance relationships fizzle, navigating the dating scene in a close-knit community with limited discretion is tricky, and balancing career aspirations and school demands can be tough.

Megan Nichols of the Career Management Center conducted the interviews.
