First, location (which you mentioned)…Princeton’s in a small town that’s equidistant from two of America’s largest cities (NYC and Philly), while Columbia is in Manhattan. Second, Princeton’s better : ). Third, I think Princeton as more of the place to go if you want to go into scientific research (like becoming a professor), though that’s certainly not always the case, and Columbia as a place for journalists and writers. That’s not a hard and fast rule, and a huge generalization, but perhaps someone would like to correct me if this is totally off base???
