Columbia vs. Cornell?

<p>Hello! I have already been accepted at both colleges and I am having a really hard time figuring out which one to choose. They both have their pros and cons; and both are obviously very prestigious schools.</p>

<p>I will be majoring in Engineering, probably civil engineering; and I might want to do a minor in architecture. However, I also want to be able to take liberal arts classes to grow in other aspects that are not science or math. </p>

<p>Can anyone help me? Personal anecdotes are welcome. Thank you!</p>
