yeah, pretty much Cornell and Columbia both have such great engineering schools that it is meaningless to compare them - you should focus more on whether you could see yourself studying in Ithaca or NYC.

One thing I found interesting, however, was that before I went up to visit both these schools, I told my physics and my calculus teachers (both retired engineers) that I would be visiting Cornell and Columbia, and both of them acted like they didn't even hear Columbia and immediately started talking about Cornell, how great its engineering program is, etc. So it seems to me that Cornell is more highly regarded as far as engineering goes.
