Education - This really depends on whats a better fit for you and what particular major you want to pursue, but overall, Columbia is better in terms of education.

Financial Aid - Hands down, Columbia is a million times better. NYU is notorious for horrible aid, unless you are a top applicant.

Sense of Community - Hard to say, but NYU is much bigger and doesn’t have things like football games where everyone goes and hangs out.

Sense of NYC - This is really a preference matter. NYU has no traditional campus. Its just spread out in the middle of NYC. Columbia on the other hand has a defined campus with plenty of green space, but also easy access to the city.

Acceptance - I assume you mean which is easier to get into? That would be NYU.
