caltech is more for the science nerd type. columbia is better for the intellectual, well-rounded type. the sciences at columbia and all of the ivies are solid. you’re not going to find the science geniuses that you’d find at caltech, but i can say from experience that a lot of the pure science majors at columbia college are pretty damn smart. for a more normal college experience, columbia is the way to go. as sac points out, it basically boils down to what your son is looking for in college.
