You could do what my son and many of his friends did…college at CMU, then work in Manhattan after graduation. Pittsburgh isn’t NYC, it’s not supposed to be. But it can be quite an enjoyable place, not overwhelming to a college student. And now he can afford to enjoy NYC moneywise, since he collects a paycheck. Lots of CMU grads end up in NY.

Columbia’s one of the top US schools and you can’t go wrong going there, but for CS specifically (and engineering in general) I don’t think it compares to CMU.

Too bad you can’t visit.
