<p>Why would anyone want to go to Columbia? The college experience there is terrible (though I’m sure its MBA program is great for networking). I met a '10 who just transferred from over there (I guess he couldn’t wait until the Fall to try out Dartmouth, seeing as how he’s on for sophomore summer) and he commented at length on the culture of the school. </p>
<p>I really think people are drawn to the NYC schools for mostly the wrong reasons. </p>
<p>And anyways, following openingdoors’ logic, schools like NYU and Fordham would have greater recruiting opportunities than Dartmouth does, and Columbia > Harvard.</p>
