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.
