Hi BillLi, Being at NYC helps you a lot with your networking. If you are targeting the S&T kind of roles at banks, you definitely need to network a lot and being at NYC helps you. Pittsburgh is a laid back city. You don't spend much time commuting and you always have professors around. Being in MSCF, you are so occupied with the curriculum that you may not enjoy the activities going on in CMU. But being with the MBA's is definitely fun. I hope this helps. Feel free to drop me a message if you need more info.
