[quote=Anonymous]Princeton is the easy pick for me. The undergrad education is exceptional. I get the appeal of Dartmouth, but Princeton is a true research-LAC powerhouse. Every student is required to do thesis and a junior class in preparation. Very academic vibe, professors who care, and the undergraduate community is more emphasized (the grad population is smaller). These students are extraordinary but they care about building community as well. And you're a quick train from both NYC and Philly. Columbia's appeal is being right in the heart of the city, but it's so tiny and competitive. You have four schools- Columbia College, Fu, Barnard, and General Studies- all competing against one another for the same courses, opportunities, and such. The sense of community is dismal and the quality of life is not regarded as highly. They don't have nearly as much money per student as Dartmouth and Princeton do. Princeton has the largest endowment per student of any university or college in the USA. 2.5 million dollars per student, last I remember. They can fund virtually any experience you desire- internships, summer opportunities, research, conference travels, etc. But of course, there's nothing wrong with picking Columbia or Dartmouth- they have no shortage of opportunities either. Visit all three. I think you'll know which you like the most after you do.[/quote]
