Hi everyone! I have a quick question; I have been admitted to both Columbia and Stanford's East Asian Studies program (free-standing M.A.), and am currently deciding between the two (wait-listed for Harvard, but I doubt that I'll get in XD). I have talked to my professors, and most of them say that it is a matter of location, since both programs have strong faculty. My area of focus is Japanese literature. What does anyone else think, and is anyone also deciding between these two programs? Any information on any of these programs/universities would be much appreciated! Thanks!
