okay, so i just have a few days left to make my decision and i'm still torn between upenn and columbia. any input?
i have an undergraduate degree in architecture and have been working at an arch./planning firm for the past few years, so i definitely have most of my experience on the design side. i wanted a program that is rooted in a design school, but i've heard that columbia doesn't have much interaction with other departments. i also want a program that has strong internships/ties to the city. i like physical planning, but i'm also impressed with columbia's international emphasis.
i've been drawn to new york city for quite some time, but i'm not sure if that's enough of a reason to go for columbia. columbia's offering me a little more money than penn, but not enough to make the decision easy!
any ideas? thanks for the help!!
