[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would take any of the 5C before Columbia. Quality of life to undergrads is important. Go to Columbia for grad school. [/quote]

Yeah, 18-22 yos would find it terrible to live in NYC.  Just awful.  There's nothing to do, no culture at all, completely isolating - what a miserable way to spend 4 years.  [/quote]

The problem is that Manhattan housing is even more expensive than it used to be, and the retail crash is emptying the storefronts out.

There are [b]pockets of non-trust-fund college-kid life in Brooklyn and Queens[/b], and some Google tech life around the High Line, but, in general, New York is probably peaking and heading to a severe a crash. This might be a good time to get in a position to buy an apartment when the market crashes, but[b] it's not a great time to go there to have a fun time at 18[/b].[/quote]

You need to have a trust fund to have fun in Manhattan? WTF?

If the kid couldn't figure out how to have fun in Manhattan at age 18, even lacking a trust fund, she wouldn't be smart enough to get into Columbia.[/quote]
