If you’re into data, especially financial data, Bloomberg Terminals are unrivaled for their comprehensiveness. Looking for a corporation’s financial statements from last year? Check. Want to compare it to this year’s? Double check. Want an in-depth overview of that business’ entire industry? Triple check.

Bloomberg data is especially useful for financial economics, global commerce, data analytics, and international studies students, who can learn how to access specific information through myriad tutorials.
