A while ago I told a friend I wished to attend Columbia University.

In response they replied, “Why the heck would you wanna go out of the country for college?”

Then I read a NYC tour site which stated " The lesser-known of the two major Universities in NYC, behind NYU, Columbia."

Ok, What?!?

How come nobody seems to ever know what I’m talking about? IS NYU reallky better known? Why is Columbia not as easily recognized as Harvard, P, or Y? Yet it has the second (tied W/ Princeton) lowest acceptance rates in the US? How are all these kids not getting into the school but no one knows about it? Don’t get me wrong, I love CU, but I was just wondering.
