Pushing Boundaries

"One of the things that impressed me most about Stern was a class I attended as a prospective student. I noticed how interactive it was in the sense that the students weren't afraid to challenge the professor and engage in dialogue. That stimulated me. It was the sort of environment that would really push the boundaries of my knowledge. I didn't get that same sense in the other schools I was considering."
