Who else has something like this? I remember few years back NYU only had one bloomberg. this is pretty nice at Hofstra, 34 bloombergs? I wonder who pays that bill...

Meh, my school's got a $5 million equity investment fund and a $5 million fixed income investment fund run by students, in addition to a Bloomberg terminal. But Hofstra's trading room is cute.

I've heard that the Tepper school of business at Carnegie Mellon has a pretty nasty trading room...but I have never seen it.

That is really nice.

NYU still only has one Bloomberg terminal, I'm an undergrad there.

My girlfriend goes to Hofstra. She's not interested in Finance at all, so I am sure she didn't even know about this.

My school has it. There are around 13 double terminals with StockVal and Reuters in a separate trading room. But the fund is small, like $150K (approx), and we used to have presentations and recommendations in front of alumni who actually donated the money for the whole investment.

Also U of T at Austin has it, I saw it when visited a friend of mine overthere. These trading rooms I believe are popular and more and more unis have them.

I searched and couldn't find any. I swear that I had seen some on their website before though.
