also, I revisited Yale/New Haven recently and had a much better experience. Still wouldn’t choose it over the top 3, but I might move it up a spot

When I was at Harvard, I stayed in a hall of residence. In my case it was Commonwealth Hall and at some point I was elected Student President. In this capacity I met Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother on her visit to the USA. I was in the Department of Classics and so had to read classical Greek and Latin. A visiting professor came from University College London and I followed him back to London to do my Ph.D there. I practiced a Japanese martial art, so I finished my Ph.D at UCL and came to Japan to teach at Hiroshima University. I am one of the President's of the Atomic Bomb Museum and, of course, have met many A-bomb victims.

Penn, Columbia, John Hopkins are located in tough neighborhoods where you have to be careful walking outside University gates at night.being in the heart of Big Cities of Philly, New York& is a beautiful campus (architecture-wise) is located in New Haven Ct. Off Yales campus some of the surrounding areas are rough ; Like Penn & Columbia (fully gated campuses); You alao have to be carefull walking around there at night....**Darthmouth Princeton and Brown are located in beautiful rural small towns where the surrounding arèas are pretty safe, quiet & truly connected although boring at times you can take the train or bus to the major metro cities like Boston Philly, or NewYork. Enough Said.

Honestly, as someone who attended both Columbia and Harvard for different degrees, I ended up having much fonder memories of Columbia's campus. Sure, it's compact, but I love that about it. And the Beaux Arts/Neoclassical style of the architecture is so beautiful to me. It felt so homogeneous and centralized, which gave it a very clear identity within the city. Harvard, by comparison, is loose, sprawling, and an even mix of gorgeous classic and ugly modern buildings that never felt like a single, solidified campus to me.

I guess I just prefer that feeling of sanctuary for life at a university.

Cornell has beautiful gorges running through opposite ends of the campus as well as a nice view of Lake Cayuga from Libe Slope.

I like that you chose to focus on campus life/ambiance instead of purely academics. There’s plenty of other videos about that and this gave a nice perspective.

As a Cantabrigian/Bostonian, I'm glad you liked our city(s) so much! Boston is a wonderful place full of so many people of different backgrounds and interests, and because of all of the colleges in the area (roughly 1 college for every square mile of land), the city never feels stagnant, despite being so rooted to its history. Cambridge is also most certainly a part of Greater Boston as a city (due to some failed annexations in the early 1800s, they never incorporated their suburbs) and easily reachable in a few minutes by bus, train, bikes, or walking. (it's honestly slower to take a car most of the time!) To anyone planning on going to one of the wonderful institutions around here, welcome and enjoy!

Columbia's campus is amazing! Had no idea that a school in the largest city in America would have a quad and be that beautiful. Unfortunately with a 3.8% acceptance rate, it is out of reach. But if I could, I would rank CU #1

[Doug-rvnr]

Princeton and Cornell are SUPER underrated for their campuses, good call out on Princeton!

[AdnanChowdhury-pvem]

Really enjoyed the video. great video.

[piscesgroovesupreme]

Columbia has other significance campuses in the city tho. It's definitely not limited to main campus.

[Emily-jcdv]

Awesome video! Applying to universities in the fall and this definitely helped since I can’t afford to go tour all of these different universities lol

[Tee-Ess]

1. Princeton. 2. Harvard. 3. Brown. 4. Penn. 5. Yale. 6. Columbia. No Cornell or Dartmouth? I would put Dartmouth after Brown. Never been to Cornell.

[coreyferreira]

Cornell? Dartmouth? You did not rank every Ivy school as you stated.
