shai Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm considering both these programs and would like to get your opinon on why one would be better than the other. Advice is a wonderful thing, mostly when you're on the giving side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterrr Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm not sure what your program is, but I would look at these factors: 1. Research Fit 2. Graduate Placements 3. Quality of Life Obviously, both are top schools, so whatever you choose will get you a good placement after graduate school. I heard Ithaca is a very beautiful place, and I once thought of applying there myself, but I didn't think it was wise for me to do so, knowing that I love the sun too much and wouldn't be able to stand 7 or so months of constant grayness. I would suggest doing a campus visit and meeting the faculty so you get a vibe as to which feels right for you. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cogneuroforfun Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 You haven't answered any of those three areas that peterrr brings up, so it is tough to say. For me, I would figure Princeton has better quality of life, maybe even or slightly better placement, and (for me) better research fit, so that would be easy I think you need to look at the three factors, in the order of importance that peterrr listed them, and compare the two.

moralresearcher Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Princeton, for purely selfish reasons. If you turn down a Cornell offer, maybe I'll get one Who was your POI, if you don't mind my asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
