"Columbia's Executive MBA program is top ranked and one of the best in the world! Living, working, and studying in New York city is a great opportunity that only Columbia can offer at a higher level. I appreciate the once in a lifetime opportunity to enrich my mind and network, working intimately with and learning from highly talented peers on weekends. This is a unique advantage of the cluster system, which combined with the diverse backgrounds of the class, will produce enormous dividends at work and for my professional development."

"It is a very diverse master's, and also very demanding as well. However I have not found enough student financial aid."

"Columbia Business School provided the ideal combination of academic rigor, career guidance, and community support that I had hoped for in my MBA experience. I have nothing but glowing things to say about the school, professors, administrators, students and alumni and am honored and humbled to be a part of this amazing network of business leaders."

"Columbia University is a great place to get your degree from. Although tuition and living accommodation are extremely expensive, the degree is worth every penny that you will spend. The faculty and network you will build at Columbia is second to none. I highly recommend Columbia to any student seeking graduate school."

"Pros: Network Location Community Resources Cons: Near Harlem, far north in Manhattan Expensive"

"Columbia University has a top ranking business school which offers a wide variety of courses led by top professionals within various industries. It is located in the heart of NYC and is just a train ride away from many great attractions. The students at Columbia are very knowledgeable but yet still sociable at the same time. The application process is a bit grueling but it is worth every effort as Columbia's MBA experience is top-notch! Columbia can be quite expensive so do your research before applying. This school's wide-reaching network comes with a hefty price tag."

"Columbia Business School's reputation is top notch. From the breadth and depth of the professors to the enthusiasm and talent of the student body, there is no better place, in my opinion, to pursue a business degree. Although the fast paced, competitive lifestyle of New York City, may be overwhelming to some, there is no better place no city in the world at the center of business."

"Columbia Business School is an institution at which students have amazing flexibility in their ability to customize their degree and transition to a new career. It has world-class faculty and access to the business capital of the world, New York City. CBS also has an incredible, supportive, vibrant student community."

"New York City is a great place to be a grad student and can get into finance industry. That said, first year material tends to be remedial and it only picks up during second year."

"No complaints. First choice for admission and couldn't be happier."
