<p>Guys I really really need your help. See I got into Columbia University in its School for Engineering and also into Amherst College. I'm an international student.</p>
<p>Now the thing is, I have always been a science student all my life ( took Economics last year though ), so I applied to Columbia with the intention of engineering and I made it into SEAS. I also applied to Amherst though, because the idea of liberal arts appeals to me - taking different and varied courses, and after you've sampled different subjects and courses, then after two years, declaring your major. </p>
<p>The thing is, Columbia is in New York City, and I've been to NYC and I loved that place. My uncle also lives there so I have the additional advantage of being really close to family ( for an international like me, its a big thing ). Plus Columbia is an IVY League, and that sounds really exciting too. Aside from that, I have a few health problems and New York City would obviously been more geared towards me studying there easily. </p>
<p>Now Amherst is two hours ( i think ) away from NYU, but its not an IVY. It's all probably not well known outside the USA and I'm not sure about the job prospects after amherst. the MOST important thing counting is will Amherst be able to cater to my health requirements. Are their hospitals or clinics or facility on campus for me to access some equipment to manage my condition ( I guess you can tell I'm being deliberately hesitant on elaborating further LOL ).</p>
<p>Will any Columbia or Amherst student or any person with proper knowledge tell me which place would be more suited for me? Trying to pass an IVY for a small liberal art college seems a bit difficult for me, please tell anybody. How are the job prospects after both colleges?</p>
<p>Where should I go?</p>
