Wash U or Columbia

[Anonymous]

DS got off the Columbia waitlist over the weekend. He is currently committed to Wash U for Com Sci and Business and has a full academic scholarship. He really likes Wash U. He visited Columbia and liked it as well. Columbia would be $80K a year. We COULD make it make it work with some shuffling on our end. Would appreciate any insightful thoughts on what to do.

I would save that money for grad school. Wash U is a great school!

This is a no brainer. Wash U for sure! It has the best of everything one can ask for college education and it’s free!

Wash U. Visited with DS and was impressed. They work for their students and aren’t resting on Ivy laurels.

This has to be a joke? WashU and it isn't close.

Wash U. No question. Save the money for grad school.

Wash U. Your kid can always live in NYC another time (and he’ll have money for it too)

WashU
And my kid is an an Ivy.

Wash U for the money. Otherwise, for me personally, no question Columbia.

Columbia has lost a lot of credibility and is definitely not worth 80k more a year than WashU.
I personally wouldn’t want my kid at Columbia with a bunch of crazy protesting terrorist sympathizers.

WashU. Take the money; Columbia won't recover any time soon.

Wash U. Don’t forget NYC is super expensive to live also

+1. WashU beats many Ivy schools in my eyes.

Columbia. NY is fun.

If money is not an issue, Columbia hands down. If 80K per year means a lot to my family, would to to WashU.
