The New School New York

Hey guys, anyone know of the reputation of the New School? I've heard good and bad things so just wondering what you guys think?

I want to apply for the MA in Global POlitical Economy and Finance program. Looks really good but would suck if the school is treated as a joke.

I must say I had never heard of it prior to being recommended to it by a friend.

Any info would help!

Liberal douches

Is that a bad thing?

Yes. I'm conservative but enjoy the delightful company of many liberal friends. Good, loyal, chill people.

But liberal DOUCHEBAGS are the most insufferable, smug d*ckwads on earth.

Highly respected within the liberal arts and global political culture.

If you want to work in finance, it's like showing up to a DMX show in a white hood.

Think it over.

You living at Maiden Lane? I lived there in 07 summer... Place was pretty good, the RA on my floor walked in on me and a friend getting uber stoned one night and joined in. She was hot, Stacy was her name I think. Zeytuna across the street will be your friend, as is Stone St and it's offerings. Usually a good amount of GS interns live there...

yessir. I decided it'd probably be less of a headache to walk to the office and take the subway to go out/see friends as opposed to the other way around. I'll keep an eye out for Zeytuna.

^ not too sure if you'll see any GS people there anymore, they moved out of 85 Broad and Oppenheimer & Co. is taking over the building.

I'm going to apply to their PhD in Econ program for shits. Will let you know what happens.

It's a liberal arts college. It's like Pratt if you're an artist, or University of Texas at Austin if you want accounting. If you're thinking about a career at the UN, it's probably a very good bet provided you are good at networking.....

What is it you want to do?

Ideally get into MBB or IB. I wouldnt mind a career in the UN but my first choices are those.

The program seems good but its reputation isnt and brand name matters in this industry I guess..

It's just not what the focus of the school is. It may be possible, but it's just not the focus of the school, and a lot of people in the mid echelons of the business world don't like the people from that school at ALL

We get to choose. I just submitted my application / paid. I'm up in midtown, and this is a decent location as it is 2 avenues away from the union square subway station.
