#2Regardless of the $ figure, Stanford is clearly the right choice here. NYU has been in NYC for a very long time (just look at the name, right?) and has not contributed meaningfully to the technology scene. What New York needs is a fresh dose of valley perspective from the guys at the heart of it.

Agreed.

i think a large problem with that is that the offshoot campuses are almost always subpar to the original. Sure the degrees will still say Stanford, but the smart people will all go to California...NY Stanford will be their safety school

I'd assume that getting into StanfordNYU would be just as hard as getting into Stanford in California, so I don't think it would be much of a safety school.

#6Please let Stanford win. NYC needs Stanford. Bloomberg is a tech entrepreneur, perhaps he can sway the RFP voting.

#7I can't concentrate on the 'Who win's' issue. All I can do is shake my head at the fact that there are US schools that have access to BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, while others are broke.

The proposal mentions that the NYC campus will largely serve graduate students and graduate school programming. Stanford already has a satellite campus in Monterrey, CA for marine biology and oceanography students where students split time between the main and satellite campuses. I expect that the NYC campus will follow the same model (i.e. spend a couple quarters at each campus to fulfill complete course load).

I'm not sure why you'd assume that. CMU's campus in Silicon Valley is very different than the primary CMU campus, for example.

That's actually a sign of a healthy marketplace. Crappy schools that squander resources are denied more resources, and world class schools like Stanford are growing.
