- Huge campus size enables meeting more people
- Extracurricular opportunities including student clubs and legislature
- Proximity to Washington D.C.
Dislikes
- Unpredictable weather in the DMV area is not for everyone
- More focus on Big 4 recruitment instead of investment banks
- Smaller alumni base in high-finance role, but it is getting better as newer classes are breaking into these industries
Course Curriculum
8
- The courses in economics are made to be challenging, with heavy focus on calculus and statistics. Programs such as Stata, R, and Python are routinely used as part of the curriculum, and there are assignments that require students to demonstrate proficiency in these softwares. Finance, on the other hand, is easier compared to economics. Most tests are a blend of theory and numerical questions, with hands-on experience in Bloomberg Terminal provided.
- The positive aspects of economics and finance would be that it provides real-world experience demanded by companies. Paired with the clubs and organizations on campus, it prepares people better for real-world cases in the job force. In my personal opinion, teaching economic theory is a little outdated but I can understand why it is essential to know the past which shapes the present and the future.
Fees
- Fees are charged in a mix of credit-based and semester-wise basis. Taking lower than 12 credits makes a student part-time, while there is a flat rate for 12+ credits. According to the Undergraduate Tuition & Fees website, the total tuition and mandatory fees for a semester total to $20,593. The mandatory fees include the costs of athletics, shuttle bus, student union, student activities, recreation services, student sustainability, and student counseling center. If enrolled in a Limited Enrollment Program (LEP) such as Business, Engineering, and Computer Science, students pay an additional $1,545.30, bringing the total fees per semester to $22,138.30.
- Monthly expenses are highly variable as it is contingent on standards of living that a student wishes to maintain. Rent ranges from $650-1400 per month depending on whether you have a shared room or a personal room and the total number of bedrooms in the apartment. Additionally, spending time with friends, going to DC, and going on dates could cost higher. If you are living on campus (which is mandatory as a freshman and optional and limited for later years), you are required to purchase a full dining plan, which currently costs $2,426.09 for a semester. There are also block meal options, allowing you to purchase 25, 50, 100, and 150 meals which cost lower. In my experience, I spend around $1000-1200 a month which included rent, utilities, meal plan, and miscellaneous expenses, which results in a total cost of $27,000 per semester. The cost of a flight to and back from India has not been included, which usually costs about $1600 for a round trip, again contingent on when the flight is being booked.

- Economists analyze how people make choices. This statement may seem very simplistic, but it captures the most fundamental aspects of the economics discipline. The range of issues and circumstances that shape peoples' choice are vast and complicated, so economists use conceptual tools to focus on the most important decision-making factors and to predict typical outcomes of peoples' interactions.
- Economists also use empirical tools to test the theory, analyze data, and inform ongoing decision-making. Policymakers in both government and business rely on economists for research findings and advice.
- At the undergraduate level, students can learn about the methods of analysis that economists use and about the various fields of inquiry where economists have been most productive.
