<p>which shool is better, university of chicago or nyu as a whole in compariosn to the other</p>
<p>IMO UChicago as a whole is better than NYU. Of course it depends on what you are looking for… if you want to go into acting/film NYU is better.</p>
<p>Not even close. For all non-artistic disciplines, Chicago is the better school by a mile. The only possible exception is business, because Chicago doesn’t have undergrad business. If finance is your thing, as it is for most people who want to go to Stern (in my experience), a Chicago economics degree will serve you quite well.</p>
<p>UChicago wins, somewhere between 9 and 10 times out of 10. If you want to compare a NYC school to UChicago, the proper peer is really Columbia.</p>
<p>I should emphasize that it’s not because NYU is in any way bad. It is one of the best schools in the country (and certainly one of the most sought-after). It’s just that UChicago is THAT good.</p>
<p>NYU for Tisch and Stern. Nursing, too.</p>
<p>Chicago for Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>I’m assuming we’re keeping this to the undergraduate level.</p>
<p>If one were to take the two institutions as wholes, Chicago by far.</p>
<p>I can see how someone could choose NYU Stern over Chicago economics if s/he cares mostly about professional (vs. graduate school) placement.</p>
<p>thanks guys!</p>
<p>okay quick question which would you put in order of superioty for borwn, cornell, duke, northwestern, and university of chicago
Major: economics
Rank them in terms of:
academics, Most attracative student body, nightlife, greek life</p>
<p>Economics:</p>
<p>Chicago
(small gap)
Northwestern
(big gap)
Cornell/Brown/Duke</p>
<p>“Most attracative student body, nightlife, greek life” </p>
<p>Duke, hands down. Enjoy your nightly drunken orgies.</p>
<p>I’d say choose Duke over all of them, since you listed the four factors that I guess are most important to you. Duke Econ may not match that of Chicago or Northwestern, but you’ll probably have the best time there, given your priorities.</p>
<p>Duke, Chicago, Northwestern.</p>
<p>wait so northwestern is superior in economics? please explain kwu</p>
<p>okaie overall which would be the better skool in terms of just academics and social life, while still maintaining the most prestiagious reputation?</p>
<p>oh and add columbia to the list of colleges</p>
<p>I think Chicago trumps NYU academically, although not by much. Chicago has been considered by many to be an Ivy-caliber school with academics that are just as (if not more) difficult/intense than the Ivies.</p>
<p>In terms of social life, both schools are located in amazing cities so you’ll probably never get bored. I hear Chicago students don’t have much time for socializing, however, because they are constantly studying.</p>
<p>“wait so northwestern is superior in economics? please explain kwu”</p>
<p>There’s nothing to explain.</p>
<p>"okaie overall which would be the better skool in terms of just academics and social life, while still maintaining the most prestiagious reputation?.. oh and add columbia to the list of colleges "</p>
<p>Columbia.</p>
<p>If you care that much about prestige, you should go to Harvard. Then, you’ll have both prestige and a first-rate Economics program.</p>
<p>UChicago econ is great if you are interested in getting a PhD. But for investment banking and consulting, Duke dominates over UChicago (both are places where 19 out of 20 econ majors want to go into IB). The difference is, undergrads at Duke have an easier time getting there compared to UChicago undergrads, who have to work their asses off competing with fellow UChicago undergrads for few spots.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What’s your source? Where are you getting this from? Are you suggesting there is some sorta quota for each school? If anything, it might be harder for Dukies to get into Morgan Stanley since John Mack was forced out as CEO and he was a big Duke booster…</p>
<p>having worked and recruited college students at two bulge bracket investment banks, i can assure everyone that duke and chicago students are recruited equally aggressively. in my last years involved in university recruiting (i’ve moved onto vc) however, there were more “academic” types interviewing than would have been true in the past. by that, i mean that chicago students seem to be more pre-professional than historically speaking. in any case, i’ve been more impressed by both student populations than some of their ivy peers.</p>
<p>with regards to the chicago-nyu debate goes, i have been more impressed with chicago students and their willingness to learn. stern students generally tend to be slightly better prepared upon matriculation at the bank but chicago students tend to catch up quickly and from thereon better resolve more uncommon situations and tasks. i suppose this could be a consequence of the sort of learning environment at both institutions. i’m only speaking in general terms and there are certainly differing levels at talents at both schools.</p>
