If I had only known
If I had only known how important choosing the right professors is. Those who know me, know that I was thinking of transferring or dropping out of NYU after the first semester of my sophomore year because I didn't like my classes. Now, about a year and a half later, I love NYU. One of my professors raised $70 million for her last startup while another was a former senior vice-president at Simon & Schuster while another is doing work with the BBC and revolutionizing the TV industry.
I found great professors by:
- Seeing what professors were featured in the media or who had won awards.
- Going to the NYU bookstore and looking through books by NYU professors.
- Asking friends who their favorite professors were.
- Looking through professor web sites and bios.
- Researching mentions of professors on the Internet.
- Looking through student rankings of professors.
