UPenn v. Columibia Urban Planning Masters?

[plantastic]

I am choosing between U Penn and Columbia Master of Urban Planning programs. My interests are in Urban Design, Transportation, and the use of information technology in designing cities. Can anyone give insight into either or both of these programs and the pluses/minuses of each? It will be very helpful in making a decision.

Thanks!

You can recieve a certificate in urban design at UPenn. Columbia's program does not offer anything design related.
