SCHOOL COMMENTS
School Comments:
N/A

s

Professors were great, but the students really made the experience for me. They were smart and talented, yet very down-to-earth and largely ego-free. These were two of the most enjoyable years of my life, due to the high quality of the educational experience and the quality time spent with great friends. -- Investment Banking

The experience of an MBA in a good New York location, with the access to firms and cultural life cannot be matched by other schools. -- Finance

The Stern community is a network of supportive friends who see that every person's individual success will lead us all to group success. It is a collaborative place, not cutthroat. I would wholeheartedly advise anyone to come to Stern. -- Marketing

Stern is one of the best schools to get you a job in finance (investment banking, sales & trading) if you come from a different background. Stern has among the highest representation in summer associate classes at most of the I-banks. -- Finance

s

NYU's strong relationship with New York companies is undeniable, and the alumni have been really giving back to the new graduates. -- Consulting

The recruiting at NYU Stern is amazing for those on the finance track. If you are looking to get a job at an investment bank, NYU is the place to go. The bulge bracket banks begin recruiting the first month of the first semester and really make an effort to attract talent. -- Investment Banking

While the curricula is top-notch and 90% of professors were spectacular, the quality of student is where Stern shines. We are an odd bunch of intelligent, cooperative, type A personalities. The result is not just a fun experience, but a wonderful complement to our education. New to all things finance, I asked many of my peers questions during my first semester and always received thoughtful, smart responses. -- Consulting

Stern's biggest weakness lies in infrastructure: the buildings and IT are lousy. Everything else (education, network, challenge, enjoyment, opportunity, access to industry leaders, location, career support, job placement) is spectacular. All and all, I couldn't be more pleased with my time at Stern. -- Consulting
