I went to New York with my dad the weekend before last and visited NYU and Columbia. Columbia’s always been a dream school for me (only behind Harvard) and I loved the campus - unfortunately, the tour itself was very underwhelming due to an unorganized and distracted tour guide. We didn’t go inside any of the buildings or find out anything I couldn’t have found out by going on the internet, which was too bad. In NYU, we went through nearly all of the academic facilities, sat in a classroom, and visited a dorm room. Obviously I prefer Columbia the school over NYU but the tour just sucked.

I later figured it must be because they know everyone already wants to get into Columbia so they don’t have to put on a show for anyone, whereas NYU is a little more eager for the top students to come there. Just a thought.
