junkmusic, years ago I had a similar choice, except instead of Harvard and Columbia I had Stanford and Yale - All intended for ChE (Harvard had no ChE at the time and still doesn’t). I chose Princeton and never looked back. Some of the major reasons were that Princeton was just as good or better than MIT in ChE at the time, but also had top Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences departments - and the campus was the single nicest campus in the country. Princeton is also dedicated very much towards undegraduates, something which is questionable for MIT and Harvard and certainly Columbia.
