Columbia is one of the finest universities in the country and the experience of being in new york city if you know how to take advantage of it makes the educational attributes of even the best ivy league schools look grossly inferior by comparison; however; columbia is extremely expensive and not demonstrably better than the city university of new york which arguably has the finest faculty in the world and costs one eighth the price; i would question now looking back if i would want to incur 150k - 200k worth of debt when the programs at cuny are quite comparable and will not leave you in the poorhouse; i would reccomend columbia; the education is superlative and for all that money they treat you very very well; lots of plush perks and facilities and the connections are invaluable; but i would think in todays market/world etc columbia is only for the very very rich for whom money does not matter in the least; they have the finest ba program for returning adults arguably in the country
