Oh no, you're still undecided?! I totally understand, though. You have a tough decision. As I said above, I think people who are undecided really need to find a way to visit the school. Everyone's perception will be different.sibley wrote:
yeah I want an update too please. the dean gave me to tomorrow to decide. I couldn't get off work to drive the 6 hours to nyc and just moved this weekend too so it didn't really work out but I'd like to get an idea of the atmosphere and your perceptions.
My experience: I thought the professors were surprisingly approachable and fun to talk with, but I thought parts of the campus were cramped and felt old. The overall neighborhood is odd--Brooklyn Heights is beautiful but downtown Brooklyn is terribly ugly and trashed. There is a clear line between the two. The students were also varied. Some of them were really happy with their experience and seemed to be getting a lot out of the school A few others were clearly depressed to be there and complained about not finding jobs. Overall, I think it is a great place to spend three years, but I suspect that BLS evokes strong opinions in both directions depending on the person. Sorry if this doesn't help at all...
This will likely piss some people off, but maybe you could deposit at both to give yourself more time?? On the other hand, maybe it's telling that you haven't taken time to visit the school? I'm jealous of your GW acceptance so it's hard for me to feel too bad for you! Good luck and let us know what you decide!
