2 year MBA over 1 year MBA

I recently joined a 2 year MBA program, and here I realized one important advantage of a 2 year MBA over a 1 year MBA. This is something which had not occurred to me when I was making the decision for a 2 year MBA vs. a 1 year MBA. But, now that I realize this, I am glad I did not take up a 1 year MBA.

The advantage is this - seniors and juniors. In a 2 year program you get to interact with the senior batch and learn from them. In your second year, you get to interact with your junior batch and pass on your learnings. This not only helps your build a much larger network ( 3 times ), learn from that many more people, but most importantly, helps to build a unique culture for that institute, which can be carried on batch after batch.
