<p>Well Columbia is famed for its core, but what are Yale's requirements (it seemed a little ambiguous on the website) and why is it better or worse compared to Columbia's core?</p>
<p>Yale has a less strict set of requirements than Columbia, which is famous for its strict requirements. The Yale system recently changed; the class of 2009 and beyond have a different setup than did the class of 2008 and prior classes. </p>
<p>Essentially, Yale requires you to take 3 classes (2? I can't remember) in each of these groups: Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities. It also requires 3 (or 2) classes in each of these groups: Quantitative Reasoning, Writing Intensive, and Foreign Language. </p>
<p>They can't overlap (e.g., a class that counts for your humanities requirement cannot also count for your writing intensive requirement).</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
