I would also like to add thought that the main reason I would pick Columbia is because it’s in NYC, and I’m from New York etc.



I consider NYC more of a negative for undergrad experiences than a plus (grad school of course is a different story). The nice thing about Philly and Penn is that Philly is big enough to have tons of things to do, but not so big and so alluring as to drown out the special centrality of campus life. You have your whole life to do the New York thing. College you only get to do once, and for only 4 years (or 5 if you play your cards right )

Anyway yes, Penn is the bestest. Evarrr. :)
