<p>the school is amazing.</p>
<p>give it 20 years and its reputation will catch up to it, for now its brooklyns best kept secret.</p>
<p>many of the professors, lecturers, and alumni here are nobel prize winners and famous inventors, and many of them teach at Columbia and neighboring Ivy leagues</p>
<p>The work load is heavy, don’t expect a social life. Many of the kids here are extremely nerdy, socially awkward, and borderline autistic regardless so it might take some time to find your niche.</p>
<p>all in all if you’re judging a school based on Brand Names, you need to seriously re evaluate your life path. I chose NYU Poly because It was the only school where I felt like I would fit in, and it felt right, felt like home. </p>
<p>Polytechnic Institute is one of the oldest engineering schools in the country with a rich history, and now that its affiliated with NYU a rich bank account too. The school has been getting heavy into research in telecommunications, wireless, macromolecular studies, and game design. </p>
<p>it was also rated #10 on Forbes “top ten schools that will make you rich” list. Graduate salaries average on $100k 5-10 years after graduation. Many of the graduates go on to start their own companies, or become high ranking leaders in their chosen field. I am majoring in Integrated Digital Media with a Computer Science Minor, and many alumni who chose the same path went on to do web design, art direction, game design, or entrepreneurship, and make 70-90K on average after graduation. </p>
<p>I could see the school holding some of the top inventors and entrepreneurs of the century in the coming 30 years, especially in sustainable engineering and new and experimental media. Its definitely has a new fresh feel, its recommended for those tech-nerds who live an alternative lifestyle similar to the matrix. My major rivals some of the top art schools such as cooper union with the nature of its conceptual and experimental media. The school is for now the only place I feel like I belong…</p>
<p>Don’t judge a book by its cover, if you get into 3 ivy leagues and city college, but find that you cant stand the pretentious PR1(|<5 at the ivys, go to city college. You will excel further and probably make more money because if you’re smart enough to go to a learning environment where you excel then you’re smart enough to make it in this world.</p>
<p>gorgeous neighborhood, unique campus and demographic, and new expirimental style. Worth a look if you’re sick of the same ol run of the mill Columbia-esque type school. I got a ton of financial aid to and am only paying about 14K a year. Peace</p>
