Cost of living difference is relevant to everyone’s life. |
I think centers of education in the northeast like Boston and New York City will do really well. Urban campuses have a draw for a significant amount of people. |
If only there was a mathematical way to quantify such differences... |
My point is that living in NYC is inherently very different than living in Atlanta, in large part because of the huge difference in COL. What is so hard to understand? |
sure - right now -- but history is long and jews are historically less 'place based' than most people. if the south provides a better environment for jews, they will slowly move over generations to the south from the north |
Right now and for the entire history of the us. Come on. I know a lot of Jewish people. No one is moving south. It’s not a trend I can see catching on in most Jewish communities. |
both of you haven't worked in banking. nyc vs atl banking isn't about COL for a young person aged 21-35 it's about the deals/transactions you'll work on. nyc bankers just work on larger, more interesting, more headline moving dealflow than atl bankers and that really can change your career trajectory |
just have 4000+ years of history...to say that it won't happen over generations -- considering that jewish presence in the south at one point as a percentage of total jewish-american population was larger and quite notable -- is asinine . we are at an inflection point |
i meant that *jews have 4000+ years of history |
maybe NYC, but Columbia is def reputationally damaged, already has a rep of being the 'not fun, dork ivy', now has a further reputation of tantrums and protests (these protests are different from the vietnam protests -- they are way more unhinged). nyc without Columbia is not as attractive boston will always do very well with students - agreed |
Right ok. It’s asinine to look at historical population trends and actual knowledge of Jewish communities I know personally and make a judgment that’s it’s extremely unlikely that Jewish ppl are suddenly going to be moving south in droves due to some protests in the NE. Right. Most ppl who have sense and aren’t reactive know that your idea that the Jewish population will shift south in any meaningful way is absurd. |
https://ejewishphilanthropy.com/jews-on-the-move-the-geographic-dimension-of-jewish-survival-in-north-america/ you are being small-minded plenty of jews are looking to the south, texas, and previously 'less jewish' states as opportunity and overall environment is more welcoming |
Very few school become amazing or terrible overnight. And when they do, it’s because an NEU or Tulane got aggressive with playing the USNWR numbers game. Not because of academic policy decisions. It’s a trajectory. More online classes, professors jumping ship and limited academic freedom isn’t a great sign for Florida. But like the new TJ admissions criteria. A gamble. And the exact results for FL colleges won’t really be known for 5-10 years. The problem is you are gambling now with what your kids degree will be worth when they are applying for jobs and grad schools. Not sure I’d play the game they are playing giving the demographic cliff coming and TO being phased out. Huge jumps in application numbers aren’t sustainable for most schools. But it’s FL. A decent percentage of the things they do make no sense. I wouldn’t send a kid there not because of what it looks like in 2024, but because the impact of decision made now will start to be felt in 2028. Too much of a gamble for me. |
Um...southern Florida would like a word. |
Retired Jewish people, right? |
