<p>I grew up in NYC and I smoke frequently, so no trouble there. lol. To me nyc is nicer than ithaca ever can be. And since im not the typical nyu homosexual senery doesnt really matter to me.</p>
<p>Alright, then go to NYU.</p>
<p>hahahaha quote of the day last2acntsbanned</p>
<p>cornell is good if you're into the lack of liveliness</p>
<p>nyc can be overwhelming i'm sure...but there's probably more there to do than you could ever find here...</p>
<p>to compare ithaca to NYC is stupid. </p>
<p>A population of 70,000 vs. 22,000,000</p>
<p>don't come to cornell if you can't live without NYC every day of the week. come for an education!</p>
<p>Pursuant to ILR statistics, many ILR grads land consulting jobs (<a href="http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/careerservices/employers/upload/2005BachelorPostgradSurvey%5B/url%5D">http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/careerservices/employers/upload/2005BachelorPostgradSurvey</a>)</p>
<p>But can anyone tell me whether these are HR consulting jobs, or just general. I was thinking of doing financial advising, or working with companies to make them more efficient (i guess an economics major would suffice for this). Again for all those who are deterred by the mindless bantering among members who have nothing better to do but argue on the internet, I am debating between staying at NYU STERN or xfering to Cornell ILR... Thanks.</p>
<p>In all seriousness, it depends on whether or not you think you will find yourself interested in the type of coursework that ILR offers. I would suggest perusing through the course catalog or exploring the research interests of ILR professors and see if they whet your appetite. In general, ILR is the best undergraduate education for anything that deals with the "people" side of business -- employment policy, compensation systems, labor relations, managing talent, human resources, and the effects of government policy upon the labor markets. </p>
<p>If that sounds interesting to you, are interested in the type of collegiate environment that Cornell offers, and find Ithaca to be an appealing place to live for a couple of years, then ILR would be a good fit. I myself couldn't think of a better place to spend a couple of years than Ithaca... you will spend the rest of your life in cities.</p>
<p>More generally, the ILR degree is pretty flexible and allows students to do many different things with it. You can load up on econ, finance, and math courses and work on Wall Street, as a lot of ILR grads do, or you can go into management consulting, econ consulting, or human resources consulting, which a lot of ILR grads do as well. A plurality of students go onto law school, and the rest do a wide variety of things -- work for Fortune 500 companies, work for the government, become union organizers, run rafting excursions in Bolivia, try out an acting career, etc. Myself? I work at the Federal Reserve and do a lot of work with economic policy. Lots of statistics and programming involved.</p>
<p>One other aspect about the ILR experience to take into consideration: it is a small school, with lots of faculty and student interaction. Everybody knows each other and most students have developed pretty good relationships with at least 2 to 3 professors by the time they graduate. Not certain what the environment is like at Stern.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>

<p>I agree with CayugaRed2005. Why exactly do you want to leave NYU and transfer to Cornell? Unless you believe Cornell's program in your field is stronger, then you should stay at NYU.</p>
<p>cayuga red, Thats really cool that you work for the fed.. I'm pretty interested in economics. </p>
<p>Basically it's a decision between studying the Corporate side vs the business side..I know at ILR I can take the same finance classes in NYU, as well as the same economics classes so that isn't an issue. Its also a monetary decision (i am a new york state resident). I feel that either school will prepare me for a job and can see myself living either at NYC or ithaca, no preference. I like Stern but I'm a little dischanted with NYU as a whole and its money problems types of hippies that go here, poor dorm options for upperclassmen, etc. I have some time to think it over, After visiting and such I have a clear view of what the ILR program entails and I know for the most part what the stern program entails. Though ILR does sent ALOT more grads to consulting..and consulting firms don't like stern for alot of reasons. Thanks for your input everyone.</p>
