Yay NYC! We didn't really do much; just checked out the good old Statue of Liberty and drove through Times Square. Saw a Verizon strike going on...
I didn't really like Columbia's campus all that much. After Penn and Princeton, it just seemed sort of lacking in comparison. Stifling, almost. I didn't stay for the info session or tour because I needed to rush off to Yale, so I still don't know much about the place. The science facilities are pretty awesome though, and they're doing some funky stuff with quantum dots that's rather intriguing.
Yale is slightly intimidating in it's structure. It's amazingly pretty, but very gothic and sort of has an edge. I don't really like the academic structure all that much, just in terms of majors/minors. Minors aren't even offered and it's strongly discouraged to double major. I feel like that's a bit limiting for me, since I'd love to learn a ton about more things, but of course, freedom with the courses is still afforded.
