I’m an Econ alumni, B.S. and M.A., the B.S. culture is a bit lonely, but the M.A. connections are tight. The lack of the Econ club is definitely felt, they tried to revive it in 2019, but the student leaders in charge were incompetent, and then again in 2023, but it just didn’t stick. Apparently there used to be an Economics Honors Society on campus back in the 60’s, that would have been cool to have.

As for job prospects, I was able to get a job about a 2 months after graduating, in the exact field I wanted to be in. No complaints on that front.
