Solid education/recruiting; needs infrastructure improvement

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

This review is for CBS

Program Full Time MBA

Class of 2018

Experience during the program

Definitely a top school with a rigorous course load meant to prepare you for business application and solid recruiting networks; however, there a lot to be said for up-and-coming b-schools who are quickly gaining a great alumni base and $$$ and trying to lure good candidates w/ scholarship and shiny new facilities and perks. Be prepared to trade off the NYC-location for slightly less than lackluster facilities and on campus dining/catering (understandable considering NYC is so expensive, but trust me, Uris is not what you would think a top-10 school would look like). Regardless of what the infrastructure is looking like now, the school probably trumps most other similarly ranking schools just based on location. At no other school (except Stern) are you able to network so quickly and closely with both alums and recruiter. Actually beneficial in-semester internships are also a huge plus which wouldn't be available at most schools.
