Stern has a very strong faculty, great students, and one of the best locations in the world. I would definitely recommend this program not only for career advancement purposes, but also as a life experience. -- Venture Capital/Private Equity

There�s too much focus on the career-switchers, and that why most of the offers are only entry levels. The situation really vexed me as I am an experienced professional who just wants an MBA education. -- Entrepreneurship

Aside from the typical characteristics that make a business school stand out (ie., quality and caring faculty, close relationships to the industry, high student placement, past excellence, etc.), Stern has two advantages over other schools that I personally felt were key: a friendly and collaborative student body and a great location in the best city in America. -- Finance

NYU has a distinct culture: cutthroat, competitive, mean, non-collaborative people won't fit or do as well. -- Marketing

Career opportunities were amazing, especially for career-changers such as myself. The community was very close-knit, and I didn't ever feel like I was �networking.� The academics were also excellent, as we had some of the best teachers in the country as well as what seemed to be one of the widest elective selections. -- Investment Banking

The access to people in the business, and by that I mean any business, due to our location clearly makes the Stern experience unique. I have friends at HBS, Wharton, Chicago, and Kellogg who have not had nearly the same experience in terms of speakers coming to campus as well as the resources to network professionally. -- Consulting

When I was recruited during my first semester, I wasn't sure whether I wanted to accept a restructuring offer or a distressed debt internship offer. Being in NYC allowed me to "cheat" and do a part-time spring internship at a distressed debt hedge fund and a full-time summer internship at a restructuring shop. -- Investment Banking

The professors and administration made themselves so available to students. In 18 months, I developed personal relationships with administration and professors and expect to maintain those relationships. My husband and I decided to get pregnant in my second year of school and the administration bent over backwards to make me comfortable and help me to graduate on time. -- Marketing

Aside from the people, one of the other reasons that I came to Stern was because of the existence of a Luxury and Retail Club. With help from the administration and other club members, I had a chance to help with the club's growth and co-chair the First Annual Luxury and Retail Conference. I have made numerous contacts and friends because of this club and even consulted to a luxury retailer (Ferragamo) for two months. It is opportunities like these that made me feel like I was going to a business school that offered much more than just a career in finance. -- Operations

This is purely speculative on my part, but it seems like many companies recruiting in NYC view Stern as their second choice to Columbia, which means we have fewer top companies recruit on campus and less students selected by those that do come. Also, the professor quality was somewhat inconsistent. -- Consulting
