I was accepted to the dual degree between Sciences Po and Columbia as well and I'm also town between doing two years at SIPA or the dual degree. After visiting the school and talking to another dual degree student who was in their Columbia year, I'm leaning towards doing the dual degree. It's going to be much cheaper and you get two degrees (which i'm not sure how much that matters but it sounds cool). Additionally, you gain the network of alumni, students and faculty at both schools which I find really valuable. Hope that helps and let me know if you accept!
