[转帖]Some school impressions

上上个礼拜终于向老板请到一个星期的假,得以实现我的美东之旅。
First stop is at Boston, since my sister is there. I visited Mit and Harvard. Although I'm not applying to Harvard, i was curious how it looks like. Both schools have beautiful campus, but honestly Harvard business school has the best facility in all the schools I visited. Students at mit are more down to earth, very easy to talk to. The funny thing is, I saw some 'scientist' look like students who kept talking and smiling by themselves while walking in MIT campus. From what I heard, the workload at Sloan is probably the heaviest among B-schools -- very quantitative and a lot of calculation. But the students are not nerd type at all. The bad news about MIT is that 4 admitted Chinese students didn't get visa last year, so they deferred to attend this year and fills 4 seats already.

Second stop is New York. Columbia and New York is very different. Columbia is in uptown and had a more wide spread layout. NYU barely has a campus, probably because it's in downtown. I tried to talk to some students in Columbia, but somehow got the impression that they are not that friendly/warm-hearted. I guess it's just one or two students that I met, don't want to offend anybody here. I'm sure Columbia must has a great student body. The class I attended at NYU was more fun than the one I had in MIT. The class in MIT was more serious and traditional. However, chinese students experienced a hard time landing a job last year. From what I heard, 2 out of the 3 students who came directly from main land china are still job hunting.

Last stop is Pittsburgh. To my surprise, almost all shopping malls and big stores shut down on Sunday, which makes the city a little bit too quiet. At the time of my visit, GSIA is in final exam break and I only found a Korean student there. From the student activity events posted on the bullitin board, it looks like CMU has a pretty dynamic and active student body.
