Well, that was certainly a nicely worded kiss-off! (Sorry.)

For my family, an 8k difference per year would be a big deal – one that we could not stomach without taking out loans. So, given our family’s financial situation, if we were in your shoes, my kid would be going to Columbia (and I say that with a child at Yale). The education your child will receive at either school will be top-notch. If FA is not an issue for your family, then go with the school that feels more like home to your kid. If you have to take out a loan to go to Yale, then send him/her to Columbia.
