<p>Yeah, I agree. Sorry about being a little vague so hear is why I like both schools almost equally. (in no particular order)
Columbia
- not near my house (I need a change of scenery LOL)
- Core Curriculum (I have no clue what I want to major in)
- class size
- NY (internships)
- emphasis on diversity (I am an URM, but its because of a medical issue so I can’t go into detail, but its the topic of my essay)
- emphasis on the social sciences
- diversity of ideas. </p>
<p>Swarthmore:
- away from home
- near philly (internships)
- safe area
- international emphasis
- campus size.
I like Columbia slightly more because its in NY.
Thanks!</p>
