Columbia and Duke probably have the best placement. Duke is a much more traditional college campus. Columbia is in NYC and students are often pretty individualistic. Duke has more “rah rah” school spirit. As an international, you should consider going to Duke to get the quintessential college experience.

Duke grads do make more money than Columbia grads. That is a fact. You can attribute the disparity to any number of things (it’s possible that more Columbia grads go into academia for example) but the disparity exists and no one can dispute the facts.

Duke - $76,700
Columbia - $72,900
