Re: Which of the unis would provide the best location?
 

Cornell has terrible weather, a beautiful campus,
low crime, cheap housing, and a diverse group of smart students. Ithaca has amazing food for being a small town, but it is 3 hours from New York and there isn't that much to do.

Re: Which of the unis would provide the best location?
 

Come on...there is NOTHING to do in Ithaca/Rochester outside of school. To compare the social scenes there to someplace like NYC, Boston, or even San Diego is utterly ridiculous.

I believe Austin was rated as one of the liberalist cities in the US.

Re: Which of the unis would provide the best location?
 

stay in boston area

best city in US + best universities

can't help you on weather, but i like having seasons

Partygirl we need to know how you feel about living in a real city vs living in a college town. Cornell and Brown are both really cool, but Columbia has New York City.

Boston U. grads are generally looked down upon here in NYC where I work. Not a great rep. Guess it depends on industry.

Re: Which of the unis would provide the best location?
 

I think the absolute terrible choices here would be Illinois, Maryland, Rochester, and Ohio State.

Re: Which of the unis would provide the best location?
 

Austin for beautiful area, stuff to do, cheap housing (i think)
San Diego for weather, beautiful area, stuff to do
Ann Arbor for stuff to do, good rep

Granted I have only lived in Ann Arbor so I don't really know what I'm talking about.

Michigan summers are amazing, FWIW.
