Columbia VS Wharton

以下是引用KittySweet在2006-1-16 15:15:00的发言：

up!我很喜欢哥伦比亚，初冬曾经有幸造访校园，印象最深的就是上了一节“leadership”的课。教授曾是经验丰富的名企高管，讲课非常的powerful,激动人心。我想巴菲特的选择自有他的道理。唯一的遗憾就是几乎看不到中国学生。

我也去了Wharton的校园，接触了一下同学和老师，中国同学很多，大家在一起也很happy的。：）

不过，两个学校的治安好像都有点让人担心。一个离哈林姆很近，另一个地理位置也蛮偏僻。多嘴一句，无论何时，要注意安全啊。

好像很多学校所在的地方都不太安全，COLUMBIA, WHARTON这样，还有YALE所在的new haven，DUKE所在的durham都属于治安不好的地方。harvard, mit, stanford和cornell所在的地方不错，很安全。

这个贴子很长,撇开争议,可以称得上“the star of stars”!

let me share my two cents of opinion also. 去自己喜欢的学府， 不要作无聊的比较， Wharton or CBS only polish your name plate, landing your favorite job or not is still up to yourself, remember, you are the one whom is interviewing for the job, not the school. It is total none sense that one school have an edge over the other blah blah ... All it matters is you tried and keep trying, just take a look at how many CEOs have an MBA? My own observation -- many successful managers did not graduated from any of the top 20.  I worked in consulting, High Tech, IT, and the financial industry, let me tell you that while a good school name gives you a head start, it is up to YOU to make a difference for yourself, it is absolutely important to know yourself and utilize all possible resources you have around you to achieve success in whatever you want to do. One more word of advice, network does not start from the school, it started from oneself, it is all around you. Whether you take the opportunity or not and initiate the contact, it is purely up to yourself.

Good Luck.

There's East Stanford next to Stanford and Central Square between MIT and Harvard.  Cornell is indeed the safest but you might easily die from boredom.  Just practice common sense wherever you go.

很不错的帖子，百家争鸣，百花齐放！

看完整个帖子用了近2小时。简单归纳了一下2个各自优势为：

wharton：排名靠前，学科发展均衡。学校的culture总体来说相对谦和。但是所在城市的位置不如CBS来得好

CBS: finance方向更强，学校的校风比较aggressive，所在城市有利于就业和增长视野，但是学科发展的均衡不如前者，排名也不如前者

今天是在办公室看的，所以没有太多的分析，改日发个这两个学校的SWOT。

哎呀,终于看完了,累死偶~~~~

各个立场,角度,心态的发言都看到了,很多精彩的观点,尤其是几位斑竹的帖子,不但精辟而且搞笑(应该是幽默哈哈)真的是受益不少

 

个人结论,如果没有另两个TOP2来争的话,单就学校来说还是沃顿,没商量,大家一起加油加油,努力努力
