Stern first year in London
I’m going to be applying to stern in the coming cycle and am thinking of indicating my interest in attending the first year in London programme. I have some questions. I’d appreciate thoughts from anyone who has gone this route or has any insight.
1) Will it be more difficult integrating into nyc after? More specifically, has anyone had a difficult time making friends with the other students after returning to the main campus?
2) Does going to London make it easier / allow me to get a job or internship there?
3) how does the culture at the ldn campus differ from the main campus?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are insights regarding your questions about the Stern first-year London program:
Integration into NYC after returning from London:
While there isn't specific feedback in the WSO dataset about integration challenges, it's worth noting that Stern has a strong network and community. If you actively engage with peers and alumni, both in London and NYC, you should be able to integrate smoothly. However, making friends and building connections might require extra effort upon transitioning back to the main campus.
Job or internship opportunities in London:
Attending the London program could potentially make it easier to network and explore job or internship opportunities in the UK. However, breaking into the London job market often requires demonstrating a strong commitment to staying in the region and building a local network. Some WSO threads highlight that London can be more challenging for non-natives to secure roles compared to NYC, but being in London for a year could give you an edge if you leverage the opportunity effectively.
Cultural differences between the London and NYC campuses:
While specific cultural differences between the two campuses aren't detailed in the WSO dataset, general insights suggest that NYC offers a more diverse and fast-paced environment, with a finance-focused culture. London, on the other hand, might have a more European-centric vibe, with a slightly different approach to networking and professional interactions. Both campuses are likely to have their unique dynamics, so it’s essential to consider which aligns better with your personal and professional goals.
If you’re looking for more detailed experiences, consider reaching out to current or former students who have attended the London program through Stern’s alumni network or forums like WSO.
