<p>which one will take you further(more connections, better prepared, more respected, etc.) in the finance world after u graduate?</p>
<p>Ehh, both are uninspiring to me. I have found Stern kids to be financially illiterate on the whole. They also tend to use the Stern name as a crutch. They expect things to be given to them because they attend NYU. </p>
<p>I haven’t heard that Vassar’s econ program is extraordinary compared to other liberal arts colleges’ programs. You’ll get the same education that thousands of other econ majors did. I can’t imagine that you’ll have many options in finance after graduation unless you have extensive internship experiences. I highly doubt that will happen. On the other hand, the campus is great. You’ll really get the full college experience.</p>
<p>If you’re the type of guy who can’t wait to roll up your sleeves and get started in finance, go for NYU. Take initiative and get an internship right away. Classes will only teach you so much (also beware of the curve). If you’re still unsure of what you want to do or can wait to start working, go with Vassar. Do you have any other options?</p>
<p>ive heard lots of good things about vassars alumni network. and stern is very reputable. Cant go wrong either way, but foolovsky’s advice is sound.</p>
