Do not attend this school without a seriousQuite BrightEducation
Do not attend this school without a serious professional life goal. It will be a waste of time and money. This is a school for those who know what they want out of life. This is a place for those who are already mature enough to live and survive in a LARGE urban environment. You will get almost no help from administration during your time at NYU and their paperwork is horrid.

Stern's curve really can affect your grades. So, if you come to Stern and think that you can pull it off with moderate study hours, you are most probably wrong. Stern is hard work, so don't come here if you expect bogs of money to start falling on your head as soon as you get admitted.

Question
NYU Stern is a university with a greatBrightBusiness - Management and Administration
NYU Stern is a university with a great reputation as one of the best business schools in the country. However, I've talked to my friends studying business in different schools(Fordham & St. Francis) and they are learning the same things I am learning here even though those schools are considered nothing in reputation compared to this school. The only difference between Stern and any other school is who you are competing against. Those who you're competing against here are the best, not the education. Commuting to and from this school from one of the boroughs is a nuisance while dorming with a typical NYU roommate (dirty, pothead, liberal, gay - trust me on this, a roommate will almost definitely have at least one of these characteristics, I'm dorming my second year)is a living hell. NYU has a nice gym at Palladium, pretty good cafeterias, and a sweet ass location right in the middle of a million things to do. But don't let these trivial postives influence your decision to come here, especially the location because Stern students don't have the time to enjoy most of the great things to do in the area (I only got to go out 4 or 5 times in the city all of last semester and I love to party).
