[quote=Anonymous]NP here -- My DC was torn between Yale and Columbia as his first choice, but ultimately opted for Yale. Two great schools, but at the end of the day: (1) Columbia is a more outward/city experience; while Yale is in New Haven, it is more of a traditional, inward college experience for undergrads -- depends what you want; (2) my DC loved the idea of the core, but also might want to double major and that is much harder to do at Columbia than at Yale because of the core; (3) DC thinks residential colleges are really unique at Yale; very different than living in a converted apartment building 3 blocks from the main campus at Columbia after your first year or two; (4) I think Columbia's international student body is larger -- may appeal more to a foreign student or may lead to a foreign student cabal and less chance for a more typical American experience -- depends what you want -- but Yale also has plenty of foreign students even if not as many.
