<p>I know what the ivy league is…and no a great education does not hinge on a ranking. If we want to debate Columbia vs. Georgetown I would be more than pleased to debate that with you. It wont go well for Georgetown though. Columbia has more highly placed graduates, has more and better graduate schools, and has better job placements than Georgetown…if those aren’t important then fine. </p>
<p>And about everything being in DC? What a load. The UN is in NYC and has great internships. PAHO is in DC which is good, but everything does NOT ride on what is available to do. I have lived in DC and I would never choose it over NYC. There is a ton more to do for fun and without a doubt there is more to supplement one’s education. </p>
<p>And its just my opinion, if you dont agree that’s fine…but without a doubt Columbia is the better school and NYC is the better city. If you think DC is better for his intended course of study that’s fine, but I think college is about more than that. If you disagree its fine.</p>
