<p>I am in the EXACT SAME SITUATION. Ill be a bio major and I want to be involved with research as a career. I toured JHU a couple of days ago and I was really impressed with how many research opportunities they seem to have available beginning freshman year. I have yet to tour Columbia but I’ve visited NYC and I love the city. Personally, that is the only reason I would choose columbia over jhu. but I love the research available in baltimore!
But then again, i guess columbia would have more prestige, being an ivy league and all</p>
