<p>A friend of mine decided she would apply to both next year and asked me whether I knew the major differences. I don’t really know much about Columbia, and was wondering what people here have to say. Thanks!</p>
<p>One’s in New York City and the other is in Chicago.</p>
<p>also their abbreviations are reversed, one is CU and one is UC</p>
<p>One is cool, the other isn’t.</p>
<p>how helpful.</p>
<p>There are several good threads on this subject in the last few weeks. Search under keywords “columbia chicago” in the text of the posts.</p>
