<p>It's an Ivy. It's in NYC and it's highly ranked. But is it known much overseas? Is it considered as academically reputable as Harvard, Yale, Stanford or MIT? I want to tell my friend that is inquiring that it is, but I wanted to make sure with Columbians. What have your interactions with international students and experiences studying abroad taught you in this regard?</p>
<p>Yep, Columbia is known internationally as a very prestigious school, not quite as elite as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, but still very well regarded, who cares what the exact ranking is. Most of its programs are pretty strong, it provides a quality education, unique college experience in NYC, and I’m guessing most Columbia alumni feel they received a good education and enjoyed their time there. It also has a core liberal arts curriculum I believe. </p>
<p>But if you want to ask actual Columbians about their experiences, you might want to get off the Cornell board and go here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/columbia-university/[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/columbia-university/</a></p>
<p>columbia is very well known overseas, probably even more than princeton.</p>
<p>Why don’t you post this question on the Columbia forum?</p>
<p>Its reputation is below Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and MIT, slightly above Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Northwestern, UPenn in most circles.</p>
<p>^ A fair assessment, I think. And I say that as a UPenn alumni and fetisher ;)</p>
<p>i would say that this isn’t the columbia board</p>
<p>Cornell…Columbia…tomato…tomahto…</p>
<p>i would imagine upenn is the least internationally known…</p>
<p>For me from greatest to least HYP, Columbia, Cornell/UPenn, then Dartmouth/Brown. Cornell is probably more well known than Columbia in Asia.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, it’s Brown and Dartmouth due to the relative lack of noteworthy graduate and professional schools from which much international recognition is derived.</p>
<p>columbia is veryy well known in asia</p>
