I feel that Columbia offers a richer college experience than the other Ivies. There is so much about Columbia that people don’t know. One thing that I like about Columbia in particular is the campus. It’s size is perfect – large, open spaces abound while all of the high-profile researchers and first year students share the same buildings and come in contact with each other. Morningside Heights has the dual advantage of being in Manhattan and being secluded at the same time. Over half of the faculty live right right across the street in the neighborhood. And when it comes to faculty eminence, Columbia’s faculty receives more money from their patants than those of all other universities in the world, and in the last decade, Columbia’s faculty won more Nobel prizes than those of any university in the world.
