<p>how does the curve work at stern?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure the following two questions have been asked, but if they have been I'm sorry. I'm not posting them in the general NYU section b/c I think it might be different at different schools.</p>
<p>What is the food like at the closest dining hall to Stern? What is an ordinary meal plan (I am a commuter student), and about how much does it cost?</p>
<p>What is the closest athletic/ work out facility to Stern? Do you as a Stern student find enough time in the afternoon to go work out, play basketball, whatever?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>if you are commuter student..why are you worried about meal plans? go to the nyu dining website to find out the rates. the closest athletic facility is coles..i dont know too many people who use it though..maybe during weekends.</p>
<p>If you're a commuter, don't get a meal plan. Seriously not worth it. There are plenty of places nearby (delis, etc) that pretty much work out to be the same/cheaper than a meal plan.</p>
<p>Coles is the closest gym to Stern, and I don't think you're going to have trouble finding time to work out. I mean, it's not like you're taking classes from 9am to 9pm or anything, and it's open pretty late.</p>
<p>Dude, Stern kids seriously don't work that hard. I'm a freshman at CAS and I'm working like 24/7. Though I may not be a reliable sources considering I'm taking all advanced classes, looking for summer work at a law firm, and trying to start studying for the LSAT at the same time.</p>
<p>Which is to say, unless you're double majoring in finance and chemistry and minoring in physics, you'll have plenty of time.</p>
<p>^ That is a gross overgeneralisation. Yes, some sternies don't work hard. Some don't work at all (I'm talking about schoolwork). But the majority are very competitive and are willing to sacrifice themselves to get ahead.</p>
<p>Relax guys, I didn't ask it here b/c I thought Sternies worked way too hard or anything. I wanted to know which dining hall/athletic facility was CLOSEST to STERN. Sorry about the confusion.</p>
<p>Dining hall closest to Stern... either Weinstein or Hayden or Kimmel. Take your pick; they're all basically the same distance (well, technically, Kimmel's probably the closest, but they're all around WSP). But as youkosiren said, it's probably cheaper to just eat somewhere else.</p>
<p>New BusinessWeek rankings! Stern is now ranked 8th.</p>
<p>Quick question, is it fairly uncommon for Stern students to double major (one at Stern, another at CAS/etc)?</p>
<p>i was wondering the same thing.....some people say a business major is sort of like a cake major (a major for those who find engineering/hard sciences too hard)...so it would prolly be a good idea to double major in Stern + math/comp sci in CAS</p>
<p>parametric: You couldn't back in my day, which is why you don't hear too much about it. However, you can now major in something in CAS on top of your Stern major, so I imagine it's fairly common now (or will soon become so). However, you can't double major in ALL CAS majors due to requirement constraints, so you should check with an academic adviser if you have a specific one in mind.</p>
<p>I remember that over the summer of 2007, I looked at this thread and was awed by the scores, GPA, and other statistics present within a person who has been accepted into Stern. Throughout my whole senior year, I was worried about whether or not I would make the cut for Stern.</p>
<p>Lucky for me, I was just accepted this week. I was so happy because Stern is a great school. This just shows how hard work, dedication, and intelliegence can pay off.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if these questions go here but, for a person who has lived on the west coast (california) her entire life, will it be difficult / weird adjusting to the ny atmosphere? And would it be more advantageous to go to stern as opposed to going to berkeley and then reapplying for haas?</p>
<p>california is like the 3rd most represented state at nyu believe or not. i think you'll be fine. plus, internships throughout the school year in NYC cant compare with anyplace else</p>
<p>Yes I believe the most repped states are NY, NJ and Cali (Just personal experience). You'll meet at a lot of people from Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey and California. I never really understood that since UC schools are so good and cheaper than NYU, but hey.</p>
<p>NYU Stern and Duke are my top choices as of now. I want to eventually work for a large firm right out of college and get into some more finance later on.
If I went to Duke I'd probably major in economics, and at Stern, most likely Finance. I've heard that going to an undergrad b-school can be a bit limiting, but I know that Stern recruitment is excellent. On the other hand, Duke can be more of a "college" experience but its location isn't as advantageous as NYU's. </p>
<p>Any advice?</p>
<p>i'd go to duke but thats just because i don't really like my experience so far at nyu. though, i do know someone who didn't like duke and transferred to stern. sorry can't be of more help!</p>
<p>how is the male to female ratio at stern? i was under the impression that business is more male dominated?</p>
<p>It's pretty close to 50/50, I'd say. NYU overall has more like a 60/40 ratio (with more girls represented).</p>
