It was. But I also got introductory macro from James Tobin, which was pretty cool. And I had an excellent German prof, and took a music class with a fascinating composer of some repute, Jonathan Kramer (held in a classroom that Paul Hindemith once taught in). It was pretty great all around. The physical environment was wonderfully posh, and the libraries jam-packed with books.
