NYU Stern vs Columbia

However, writing that nyu undergrad is stronger than columbia college will just never be true. CC is staggeringly more competitive. It might feel good to write random sh*t on an anonymous forum, but it doesn't make it real. Grad schools are another matter, obviously.

Agree, but OP was talking Stern, not NYU vs Columbia. Reading comprehension?

Can't comment on stern/nyu, but i do have a recent Columbia college grad. With its small size and focus on liberal arts, I was surprised by the lack of student support - both for current students and career services. Just a tough place, competive and not much warmth. Teaching was mixed. Strong for classics but weak in several other areas. Grad students teaching core curriculum classes. Kid did fine (more because of their own intellect/initiative than the school).but we expected more for both the $ and perceived reputation.

Thank you for sharing.

If you're talking about recruiting in '25, Stern is considerably better than Columbia.

My personal feeling is that neither school is a healthy place for 18 year olds today. But at least the Columbia students have to read something to get through the Core. A very low bar.

How did nyu pull this off? I am genuinely curious. Are they providing a more useful, relevant, or rigorous education? Do they provide better networking events? What have they done?

Professors snatched right off the street

Can you please expand on that? DC is considering one of the NYC schools and I'm very concerned about this.

What kind of college experience do they want? Columbia offers a more traditional campus life.
