Princeton has better economics? Not even close. One can argue that being in the financial capital of the world makes Columbia an econ students heaven. Seeing as you’re a Princeton alum, wouldn’t it be fair to say you’re biased? Seeing as the education is completely comparable at this level of institution, you’re just saying things without anything to back them up. I mean, with THE Core, I could say Columbia is WAY better in the humanities and with its ridiculous chem and physics legacies, it’s better in hard sciences. Our politically minded students have it better with the UN here and all the government positions available, making Columbia a much more attractive place for high profile professors and speakers. You see, there isn’t a way to measure one school’s superiority but, one can use actual facts to lead a prospective student in the right direction. Simply saying that Princeton has better programs is a joke when anyone can just walk up in this forum and say Columbia is way better. Doing that is worse than listing acceptance rates as method of comparison but, if you were to do that, Columbia’s is lower :p
