Business outlook
Pros
Connections to people to help advance your career. You have the opportunity to work with people who are thoughtful about their topics of interest. Some ideologues, but overall the people seem open minded. For better or worse, being involved with a big name school helps you since people view it as a big deal. Living in New York can be fun and is at the very least a unique experience.
Cons
Living in NY is expensive. This is only a downside if you are not a "go-getter" but, you have to seek out your own opportunities to do interesting or meaningful work as no one is necessarily going to hand you things...Just like any place else really.
