[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think even given the current climate/protests, Columbia is an Ivy and you don’t turn down an Ivy. My second choice would be Rice. I loved Rice when I visited. Amherst is too small and too remote for me.[/quote]

Disagree. I think Columbia will be notorious and not worth the 90k/yr risk. Rice is excellent and great location. Have know people who enjoyed Amherst, though that was years ago, and it still has an excellent reputation. Beautiful campus.[/quote]

Everything about Columbia is bottom-tier Ivy—student morale, job outcomes. alumni giving. It’s hard to plunk down $90K a year for that. [/quote]

Columbia is a bottom tier that leads.  Columbia lit the wildfire that's engulfing the country now. Not a whole lot a student does at Amherst or Rice gets noticed, as good as these schools are. When it's done at Columbia, it gets noticed.  When Columbia calls for action, other ivies and everyone else answer the call. [/quote]
