Rohan Mendoza (Evening MBA): "I stay away from my assignments at work to focus on school" Nityanath Vaidya (Evening MBA): "I watch some James Bond movies on TV" Patricia Gonzalez (MBA1): "I dance, sing, listen to music; anything involving music" James Birney (BBA'09): "To get rid of my aggression, I run some extra regression in Excel.
