Why I chose to go to CBS?

CBS was my top choice. It offered the flexibility of a great program with many many classes to choose from. It is in NYC, close to all those companies one could wish to work for, and have a amazing/ cosmopolitan life. Imagine having Calvin Klein coming to class to tell you how he created the “jeans” and asking you for advice on where to go next.

What CBS can offer students, that you won’t read about on its website?

Friends for life — from all around the world
Great alumni network — always willing to give advice and help out on career management
NYC — we graduated in 2003, right in the mist of the last economic crisis (9/11, dot com boom, Irak wars), and being in NYC allowed us to be number one on the list of companies looking to recruit.
