[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of the 3: Columbia is the weakest on the "college campus vibe." Amherst may be on the other end w Rice in the middle. Same w research univ feel. [b]On the East Coast Columbia and Amherst will get the most "prestige" recognition[/b]. If your DC is looking for an academically rigorous experience with a classic American campus experience, Amherst is great. Columbia would be a tougher, grittier experience, best for grad school for most kids. OTOH, if my love of NYC is super strong, go to Columbia!

Not sure why PPs think Columbia is only a east coast thing. Wall Street or silicon valley, Columbia is a high hitter.
