definitely Columbia, better in both reputation and location

回复：college choice

I've visited and known people in both schools. Columbia is slight higher in reputation, and being in big city NYC is a lot better than in small town Ithaca. NYC offers so so many activities, diversities in job opportunities, fine arts, restaurants and people. Cornell is also a good school and the campus is beautiful, but can be boring after a while, and the winter there is sooo long and depressing. No wonder the suicide rate is so high there. All people i know when went there can't wait to get out there. I think Columbia is in general a better choice than Cornell unless your daughter wants to be a nun. :)
