Columbia has a much better Law school (ranked 5), compared to Princeton whose rank I couldn’t find. (Princeton’s political science is ranked three but Columbia’s close behind ranked 7).

I think that Columbia would be a better choice for you. It is still very prestigious and although Princeton may be ranked number one overall Columbia sounds better your specific major. Also, you seem to really like the environment. Apply to both to keep your choices open but I suggest applying to Columbia early decision.
Best of luck!
