    Yeah, I'd definitely be one of those people in the city. There are spots in NYC that I've seen in Manhattan and Brooklyn that would make amazing spots to study.

    Stanford would be cool. My sister goes to nyu and that looks interesting. But that takes a certain kind of person, lots of weird stuff at nyu.

    But honestly, I don't think I could have had more fun anywhere than I did at Colorado.

    actually, I was technically first for US colleges citing Pepperdine after Tahiti and St Andrews. :p

    Boulder is definitely on my list of places to visit. I want to see a Buffs game at Folsom Field.

    And I was merely asking why the response. Out of simple curiosity.

    Actually, I have talked about UI, NYU, Harvard, and MIT. Clearly, I am affiliated with Columbia, along with these other colleges. Just curious of people's views; I have heard a lot of different answers.

    What spots are you talking about? I am curious; I still don't know all the nooks and corners of the city.

    Pepperdine, without question. Best campus in the world.

    I wanted to go to UPenn - Wharton, but I (and my parents) could not afford it. Had to settle for UT.

    Penn - Wharton
    Stanford
    MIT

    If it's my first undergrad, probably Harvard because of the hype and connections.

    If it's right here, right now, some top university in Europe, not necessarily Oxford but one where it's a good mix of English and a foreign language.

    Harvard gives you the street cred, Yale gives you the swagger "I am a better person than all of you"
    But seriously, why hang with those brains. I would probably pick a party school IU at bloomington, have some fun while kick everybody else's butt.
