New York City: Columbia & NYU

You tell me which one has more impressive schools.

Very much so. Although the schools themselves are quite different, they attract many of the same people and are about equivalent academically.

I cannot tell you how many people I have met (at USC) who have transfered from/to NYU, or who go to undergrad at one and grad school at the next, or just generally had to choose between the two schools to attend in the first place (myself included).
