<p>So I came here to look into the opinions of others and decide on which school to apply early. The first 9 pages were full of bickering and personal insults regarding which school is more awful and horrible. The next 11 pages were non-contributory fights over statistics using untrustworthy sources. And honestly, the posts I’ve seen on this thread alone makes me not want to apply to either of these schools. I’m visiting Columbia tomorrow and Princeton some time next week. If anyone would like to post objective information and personal experiences (that aren’t taken to the extreme) regarding the social scene and academics of Princeton and Columbia University, it would be very much appreciated.</p>
