<p>Which is the better place for engineering /physics?</p>
<p>cornell is better for engineering period. They are ranked 8th in the nation while columbia is like 20 something</p>
<p>Cornell has the number one program in engineering physics in the country according to US News. If you have questions about engineering physics at Cornell let me know. I am quite familiar with the department.</p>
<p>so, what is engineering physics? lol</p>
<p>For pure physics, they are equally as good...
Cornell has much stronger engineering overall (according to GRADUATE rankings), but at the UNDERGRAD level, they are both excellent.</p>
<p>Cornell (rural) and Columbia (super-urban) are in VERY different environments, and you should pick based on which environment you think you can thrive in.</p>
<p>Atoms were split at Columbia back at the dawn of the nuclear age. That's why they can't tear down one of the old buildings near the Engineering School. It's a national landmark (the Manhattan Project). Hah!!!</p>
