[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s another issue people don’t like to discuss. I went to Columbia before Columbia went coed. Barnard was, at the time, only half the size of Columbia and half of Barnard commuted and were effectively out of the social life. Moreover, while Columbia College had an international student body, even the Barnard women who lived on campus usually came from the tri state area and had a much higher propensity for keeping their high school boyfriends. But I had a lot more money than most Columbia men. I could ask women out to a Broadway play and a gourmet dinner. Obviously it’s entirely different now. Now, women are in the majority on the Columbia campus. MUCH easier for Columbia men to enjoy themselves. Still, if you have money, NYC is the place to be. Otherwise, definitely Cambridge. [/quote]

Meh, Columbia is no more expensive than Harvard.  Room and board are pretty much the same everywhere, so that takes care of 99% of students' expenses.    [/quote]

Duh. I’m not talking about the cost of room and board. I’m talking about the cost of a night on the town. [/quote]

It's possible to score a million-dollar view at Columbia for the price of a university dorm.  That's something most people will never experience.  At least not in this lifetime.  Can't compare that to something as small as a night on the town.
