<p>are courses at columbia more difficult than those equivalent courses at nyu? thnx</p>

<p>From talking with some friends who transferred from NYU CAS, yeah, Columbia classes are a fair bit harder. That’s just some second hand anecdotal info though, of course.</p>

<p>Do you mean “harder” as in the actual difficulty of the course material or the difficulty of obtaining a high grade in the course?</p>

<p>“… the difficulty of obtaining a high grade in the course?”</p>

<p>that’s interesting… thanks for the info </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>yes, in terms of the difficulty of course material.</p>

<p>If the relative difficulty of courses is affecting your decision to apply to either, then may I suggest you may already be on the wrong course for both which are extremely top-grade academic institutions?</p>

<p>Is this a trick question?</p>
