I arrived to NYU stern on 22nd Jan 2008. It was wonderful to see that the residence Palladium was right there in the city....ALthough bit expensive Palladium gives you all the facilities which you might want for youself. A full fledged gym, cafeteria and 24 hrs security. The NYU ID card can be used at cafeteria, laundry, university cafe, library and on the campus.
Classes begin on 28th Jan and it was good to attend the valuation class of Damodaran. If you come to NYU stern, it is worth to take Damodaran class. There are several other good courses and all depends upon your career choice and interest to learn.
This year, there are around 33 exchange students from different schools around the world. 3 from HEC, 8 from LBS, 2 from ESADE etc....
We do not have Piano bar here but every Thursday night, there is a beer blast from 6 PM for MBA students and so it is the time to meet with other MBA students.....
So far so good. Will write more as and when have time :)))
Cheers

12 Months in HEC MBA
It is exactly 12 months now when most of us arrived at HEC Campus. That was our first day and I am sure most of students today will have seen the difference.
Some takeaways until now is that I have developed life long friends, learned from peers, professors, alumni, business leaders.
I still remember in year 2002-2003 when I was exploring option of doing an MBA, some of my friends told me something interesting. They told me that you do MBA for an experience. MBA does bring career change but it also gives an opportunity to gain invaluable experience. What is also true is that 16 months HEC MBA is a unique experience and will not come back again.....
I am in India, ready to move to New York for an exchange and still when I receive email from fellowmates, I can clearly see the excitement involved in the discussion. I am sure a reunion in June 13th during graduation party would be thrilling....
With this wishing you all a very happy new year 2008. Wishing you all also success in your studies, career and personal life.
