Columbia vs Princeton PhD

[alkanoid215]

Hi everyone,

 

It's almost a deadline for submission and I still haven't made clear decision on where to go.

 

My final options are Columbia and Princeton.

 

I am planning to do materials mainly with possibly some physical and inorganic chemistry.

 

I have similar number of professors that I am interested in.

 

Columbia has slightly better fit, but not by much. 

 

I wish the research environment to be energetic and to have opportunities in terms of trying out diverse research projects.

 

 

I will be grateful with any sort of advice. Do you have any suggestions?

Hmm, I wonder if we met at any of the visitation weekends. Who are you looking to work for at Princeton and at Columbia?
