Harvard vs. Columbia

I’m very split. I’ve narrowed my college choices down to these two. I’m not sure what I’d like to major in, but probably something social sciences or humanities. I love Columbia and had envisioned myself there for a while, but I also like Harvard, and I find it incredibly difficult to turn down Harvard and everything that comes with it. The two things throwing me off are that I was put in CUSP (the Columbia honors program), which I like, and the Harvard social scene, about which I’m a little apprehensive. Were both of those out of the equation, I would probably be leaning Harvard.

Any thoughts? Anything I should consider? I haven’t been to Harvard’s admit weekend yet, but I’m worried that I’ll still be undecided when I do.
