Columbia or Stanford?

Big picture wise…these two schools are both amazing and prestigious, based on rankings or not. Instead of simply posting facts and putting both schools down, just make a personal decision (weather, what you want to major in, location). That’s all this really comes down to.

I’m going to be a Columbia 2016-er and I have a couple friends who will be going to Stanford. None of us applied because we thought one was better than the other. We applied because we decided that these schools would fit our personalities and needs better than the other.

HYPC and HYPSM are both used and shouldn’t affect your decision. Make your own judgement and don’t regret it!

Though, for business, I really would have to say Columbia is a better choice mainly because of the location. If you were to do Comp Sci or science, than Stanford would be better (Silicon Valley O_O) . Weather-wise, it depends on where you come from. I’m used to the cold so I’m okay with it :)
