"Personally, my network has increased ten-fold! I have met so many people in this industry."

I wanted to continue with my career while I attended school at night, which is just one of the reasons I picked NYU. The curriculum also fits my educational needs. My decision resulted in a new job where I’m challenged every day and career-wise, the bar is much higher now than ever before. I have so much more confidence, the opportunity to take my career wherever I want it to go, and personally, my network has increased ten-fold.

What stands out for me about NYU was being on the most exciting campus of any university in the world, surrounded by finance, business, media, fashion, food, sports, and you name it. I loved having direct access to industry leaders in the country’s most successful businesses and staying ahead of the latest, emerging trends. All of my professors worked in the industry, so we learned firsthand about what was going on in today’s sports. My professors are all part of my network now, as well as several past guest speakers, and former, fellow students, who also work in the industry. Given my experience, I would recommend NYU to anyone committed to enhancing any aspect of his professional or personal life.
