final1: no one is jumping at your throats. if you make your intentions clear, we can better help you. if you’re making around 30k with another sibling, im sure all three schools will give you some (hopefully enough) aid.

all three colleges you mention are private (assuming engineering school for cornell). therefore, being in-state will not reduce your tuition for any of these schools.

i never said columbia isn’t in the heart of the city. but when comparing cmu and cornell, i don’t think you can reasonably think about distance. there are more ways (and probably cheaper and faster) to travel from nyc to pittsburgh than nyc to ithaca.

nyc to pitt: you can take train, plane, bus, car
nyc to ithaca: you can take bus (detours), car. train to syracuse + taxi for 50 miles
