<p>LOL - Stanford doesn’t lack for opportunities relative anyone (well, save perhaps Harvard, in some areas.) And I would argue, actually, that it’s better known internationally than Columbia. </p>
<p>But to answer your question – you can’t go wrong with either, academically or in terms of opportunities. </p>
<p>If you are going to seriously pursue a career in the international arena, you will most likely have to go to grad school anyway – that’s the school that will REALLY count. </p>
<p>My advice is, focus less on the minutia of what you think you want right now and more on the overall experience you want out of your undergraduate education. Both schools will get you where you want to go. But in very different ways. Now it’s up to you do decide which ‘way’ is for you.</p>
