Which is the best University....Columbia, Harvard or Stanford?

I was just wondering....

Which is the best University....Columbia, Harvard or Stanford?
Maybe none of them. It really depends on you and what you are looking for. Each school has its own personality and strengths. Finding the right college is about FIT, not a brand name.





I would also throw out there that if you are an undergraduate student none of them are the best. Most people know them because they publish a lot of their research, but that it at the GRADUATE level. All those big name professors don't interact with the undergrads. You won't be working with them, getting the benefit of their amazing work, etc. You will be a number in a classroom full of people, probably working with a teaching assistant.





If you are considering one of these ultra competitive schools, there is a high probability you will also go on to graduate school. Here is an alternative. Consider a small private liberal arts school. They too are ultracompetitive, but one of the big differences is that there are no grad students who get to do the cool stuff. Classes are typically 20 people. Your professor KNOWS you personally (very helpful later when you need letters of rec for grad programs) and works at a small school because he or she loves to teach. They still do research and keep current on their fields, and since there are no grad students YOU get to be the one to help them. There are more opportunities than there is time to take advantage of all the things at small schools.





And in case you are worried about "attending a school no one has heard of", you are wasting your time. Graduates of top liberal arts colleges are highly desirable to grad schools and businesses. Not only do they have the research skills already, but they can COMMUNICATE what they know too! Knowledge is useless if you can't communicate it to another person. They also tend to be good at time management and are used to a competitive environment.





So go to an undergrad only school where YOU are the priority, and then to a big name school like you mentioned which is better suited to grad students for your advanced degree.





But even if you disregard all I have said about small schools, make sure you find a fit, not just a brand name. You only have four years and you want to get the best possible experience.
Reply:For what? That makes all the difference. All have strengths (such as Stanford for EE), and in their strengths that would be the school of choice. Harvard does have the best alumni network, however.
