[quote=Anonymous]Columbia is a clear number four in the Ivy League after HYP among the Ivies for prestige. Academically, Columbia College is probably among number 1 for its course structure for undergraduates with course requirements in western civilization the greats in literature, frontiers of science, music humanities, and arts humanities. the teachers are hand-selected to teach small seminars of no more than 20 students in the required courses, and over 80 % of all courses have less than 20 students per class. The College invests great financial and human resources in these required courses, the experience which will last a student a lifetime in learning and other valuable intellectual and practical benefits. These wonderful courses give one a leg up in life in enabling a student to rip apart any text and to re-assemble it afterwards.

Add the brilliant, usually unparalleled cultural opportunities with the United Nations, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Museum of Natural History and countless other world-class museums, and great restaurants of every cuisine from all over the world, with student discounts and great transportation infrastructure in a world-class city, Columbia College and SEAS provide opportunities second to none.

The history of providing the financial brains for the economy of the nation during critical times in our history, starting with Alexander Hamilton, during the Civil War and then with the Brains Trust during the Great Depression remains as a strong influence on campus and in its educational ethos on education and commitment to making a difference.

So, for academic experience, Columbia is hard to beat. In layman prestige, HYPC in that order (imo).
