[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would choose Harvard, but Columbia is fantastic.

Both are remarkable colleges.

Really, it does not matter. What is most important is which one the son/daughter will feel is a fit.

Columbia has wonderful core courses consisting of small classes. I read that 80% of the classes at Columbia College are 20 students or less, and that the teachers get to know the students.  Also, New York City runs circles around Boston for culture, museums, music, restaurants, internship opportunities.  New York is not expensive for students, and there are student discounts on many things. [/quote]

There’s another thread saying Columbia lies about its class sizes. As a Columbia grad, I can attest that almost all Columbia College courses, including all the Core courses, are under 20 students. School of General Studies courses are often much larger but no one must take courses at the School of General Studies. Many Columbia College students do take SGS courses because it’s easy to get a high grade in courses at SGS, which has virtually open admissions. [/quote]
