Stern vs. NU - The Hardest Decision

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>Hey you guys! I've been accepted to Stern at NYU for this coming fall as a transferring sophomore. Right now, I'm still deciding whether to stay here at Northwestern, and double major in Economics and International Studies or go to Stern and study Finance. I do have a passion for business, however the life that I have here is making my decision difficult.</p>

<p>I know that Stern has amazing recruiting opportunities for Wall Street, however, I also know that a Northwestern degree is also quite good. Also, there's always the chance that I may not be a b-man after all...</p>

<p>Also, the lifestyle at NU and NYU are completely opposite. While NYU has that no-campus, in the city, in the mix, etc. feeling, NU has the suburb, calm, comfort feel.</p>

<p>I do consider job placement to be one of the most important factors in my decision, but I also consider college life and academics to also be huge factors.</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>if you want to work in ny i would say definitely choose nyu. </p>

<p>i also noticed you said you were’nt sure about business. if you end up hating business, you will hate stern, as everything is related around business, from classes to clubs to jobs to even your classmates/friends who will be talking about it. if you want to do business, stern is a great school. otherwise, you may end up being in the minority who hate stern and end up going to law school.</p>

<p>if job placement is number 1 on your list, NYU Stern will take good care of you, even after you graduate. The life style isn’t as bad as most people think it is.</p>
