Hey Guys,
If you've seen my previous posts I'm deciding between attending CMU-pitt or NYU. I have to decide by this sunday and I'm still struggling to make the decision. I may be leaning towards NYU at the moment (after visiting both campuses over the last week), but I'm kind of concerned about things I've heard about the teaching quality
CMU: most people were very pleased with the professors/TAs general classroom experience and professors willingness to help students outside of the classroom
NYU: mixed responses really, some people said the teaching quality really varies and some people said the TAs are very unhelpful
obviously, theres always the issue of the professors being practitioners which means they have less time to spend with students who need extra help
However, most people usually say (and I got to see this first hand by sitting in on a seminar/class) that the NYU program really incorporates the practicality of everything taught better just because the professors can bring in what they see/hear in their day jobs into the classroom
anyone have any insight into the respective teaching at either university? Or any other advice/info about the programs would really be appreciated!
