Unlike classes I have sat in on at other Universities, Goizueta's classes are the perfect number of students, stress participation and group discussion, and give students the opportunity to ask questions, both pertinent to the topics in the textbook, as well as any questions the stray outside the realm of the syllabus. Teachers are extremely approachable, the Career Management Center is devoted to their students success both academically and professionally, and the facilities offer a small, community feel that aids in students becoming comfortable with themselves and each other in the classroom.

Too much emphasis on finance/banking (i.e. working on Wall St.). Grading curve is extremely harsh (especially for core requirements). Outstanding facilities and faculty.

The small size, the strong University, the amazing facilities, the job connections in (booming) Atlanta and the whole East Coast

s

The quality of the teaching, students and facilities at Goizueta are second to none. What really makes the school stand out though is the way it incorporates ethics and sustainability into its curriculum. Goizueta professors stress doing business the right way, and this has greatly impacted my outlook on life and business in general.

Student quality is mixed, have had some brilliant peers but many who were less than impressive.

The class size and Emory's location and atmosphere makes for a unique learning environment. It is school in the south with kids from the north. This provides a juxtaposition that cannot be offered elsewhere. Concerned professors and very hard working students make for a competitive learning environment.

s

Excellent on most business areas. Severely lacking in quantitative preparation. Finance program barely touches on financial modeling, theoretical pricing and other important quant-based analysis.

Most premier business programs are incredibly intense and competitive, to an unhealthy extent. I have so many friends at other programs like Wharton and Stern who are in incredible competition, sometimes to a nasty level, with other students. At Goizueta, I find our program to be unique because we are a premier program with top-notch teachers and academic rigor, but we also are friendly with our classmates. We have a laid-back enough atmosphere where the program is enjoyable, while also challenging. For a top 10 program, this is a unique balance.

s

The professors take an active interest in your success. They want to make sure you are well equipped to handle any situation you encounter after graduation. The business school makes sure students are well-spoken and well-written. There are required presentation courses so students know how to effectively represent themselves and their subject matter.

Strong alumni support and network. The alumni truly care about the students and Goizueta.

Career center and school in general struggle with relationships with global finance players (big banks) and placement outside the South East.

My only issue with the program is that in light of the financial crisis, there have been notable cuts in budget, leading to some good classes and professors being cancelled or moved. Specifically, the ethics course I took last year (with a phenomenal professor Bradley Killaly) was cancelled this year, and the well recognized professor for my Leading and Managing Change class took a position at another school, leaving my class with an adjunct prof

s

The emphasis on groupwork helps to build relationships between classmates inside and outside of school. In addition, the school's strong relationships with companies such as Coca-Cola has helped us gain access to executives that have taught us many valuable lessons through their personal experience.

The red tape of the administration is a real bother sometimes. The advising I received was mediocre at best, and if the student isn't on top of things it's very easy to make enrollment mistakes. All in all, I'm not impressed with the administration here.

There's no slacking off. You can either be at the front of the curve or pushing other people up it. We all work extremely hard to compete with each other and also have opportunities to work together on teams. Overall, it is very, very competitive
